Famous quotes containing the word tennis:

    “Writing free verse is like playing tennis with the net down.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “I know some of my self-worth comes from tennis, and it’s hard to think of doing something else where you know you’ll never be the best. Tennis players are rare creatures: where else in the world can you know that you’re the best? The definitiveness of it is the beauty of it, but it’s not all there is to life and I’m ready to explore the alternatives.”
    —Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)

    “[My one tennis book] was very, very old. It had a picture of Bill Tilden. I looked at the picture and that was how I learned to hold the racket.”
    —Maria Bueno (b. 1939)
