In tennis you're on an island. Of all the games men and women play, tennis is the closest to solitary confinement.
You can be a little lonely because it's an individual sport.
Isn't cricket supposed to be a team sport? I feel people should decide first whether cricket is a team game or an individual sport.
Football is a collective sport, but goalkeeping is an individual sport.
You've got to be fit to box. In football, if you need a breather, your team-mate can take over. There's no one in the ring to help out.
Reading. That was the sport I was good at.
There's a real difference between singles tennis and working as part of a team.
I don't care what you do in life. To say that that year I was the absolute best, especially when you're in a team sport - and I have more of a personality that I wished I would've played an individual sport - to win a championship, to get 60 people and focused in one direction and do it over a seven-month period is phenomenal.
I almost went with basketball over tennis.
Cricket is a team game. If you want fame for yourself, go play an individual game.
MMA in an individual sport, and you're just pushing yourself to be as dangerous as you can be in 15 minutes.
Wrestling is a small, intimate sport.
I love the relays. Track is such an individual sport, so it's fun to do something together.
I love going one-on-one with someone. That's what I do. I've never lost. It's a whole different game, just to have them right in front of you and be able to do whatever you want.
Figure skating was a pretty individual sport. I've grown up a lot since those days and enjoy being part of a team now. Being a doctor is about working with nurses, therapists, anesthesiologists, and I've learned more about team play being a doctor than when I was in sports.
I played football in high school, I played baseball when I was younger, things like that, but I think it was the passion I had for track where you want to do an individual sport and be the best, I think - there's nothing that can replace that.
The reality is this: Fighting isn't a team sport; it's an individual's sport.
There is no doubt about how hard it is to stay on top in any sport, but to do it in an individual sport for the majority of your career, it is not easy.
Not every child is cut out for an individual sport.
Tennis is a hard sport. There is a lot of competition all year and you play alone.
I enjoy my athletics, and I want to take it as far as I can.
Tennis is one of the only sports in America where the sport doesn't grow with the size of the person - it just forces you to swallow the whole pill.
Leadership is an individual sport, one that has to be fine-tuned to each of the people that reports to you. Leaders also need to provide the direction, energy, encouragement and inspiration for each person who reports directly to the leader as well as for the overall organization.
Basketball is so unique. It's both a team and an individual sport.
I love to play golf, and that's my arena. And you can characterize it and describe it however you want, but I have a love and a passion for getting that ball in the hole and beating those guys.
