I Hate To Lose More

I Can't Say That I Was My Happiest On Court, But I Felt Completely Free. Free From Family Obligations, Free From My Own Torment. In A Real Sense I Was A Different Person. It Was A Place Where I Could Not Tolerate The Idea Of Being Beaten. I Psyched Myself Up Into A State Where I Felt Something Close To Hatred Towards My Opponent, A State Where I Detested The Idea Of Someone Making His Name At The Expense Of Jimmy Connors. I Was In My Element On Court, Measuring Myself Against Someone Else. I Was Not Competitive For Show. It Came From Deep Within.

There Is Only One Number One. It Is A Lonely Spot But It Has Got The Best View Of All.

Rather Than Viewing A Brief Relapse Back To Inactivity As A Failure, Treat It As A Challenge And Try To Get Back On Track As Soon As Possible.

Playing In Front Of 25,000 People And Millions More On Television, And Performing And Doing What I Worked So Hard To Try To Accomplish Was, In My Opinion, The Ultimate. Do I Miss It? Of Course I Do.

When You're Hot, Anything Can Happen.
