I Never Lost A Tennis

Tennis Was Never Work For Me, Tennis Was Fun. And The Tougher The Battle And The Longer The Match, The More Fun I Had.

You Have To Remember That I Played Longer Than Anybody Else On The Main Tour; I Played Until I Was 40, And Then Played Another Six Years Or So On The Seniors Tour.

From Where We Lived, To Practise In St Louis Was An Hour-and-a-half Drive Each Way, So That Took A Lot Of The Time. So Really, Our Lives Just Took Different Paths.

I Hate To Lose More Than I Like To Win. I Hate To See The Happiness On Their Faces When They Beat Me!

It Was Okay For Wayne Gretzky's Dad, For Instance, To Give Him A Hockey Stick, Or Joe Montana's Dad To Give Him A Football, Or Larry Bird's Dad To Give Him A Basketball, But It Wasn't Okay For Gloria Connors To Give Her Son A Tennis Racquet.
