I almost went with basketball over tennis.
The idea of doing a tennis movie is truly unbelievable to me. Well, first of all, they don't really exist.
I don't have many hobbies. If I think of hobbies, maybe ping pong. But I don't have a desire to get a ping pong medal.
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.
I love tennis! I've always felt like this because it is such a classy sport with a great, competitive flair to it.
There's one thing I'm really good at, and that's hitting the ball over a net, in a box. I'm excellent.
I try to play squash but I keep running into the walls.
It is the best of all games for me. It frequently escapes from the pattern of sport and assumes the form of a virile ballet. It is purer than any dance because the actions of the players are not governed by music or crowded into a formula by a director. The movement is natural and unrehearsed and controlled only by the unexpected flight of the ball.
Battledore and shuttlecock's a wery good game, vhen you an't the shuttlecock and two lawyers the battledores, in which case it gets too exciting to be pleasant.
Track and road cycling are very different things. It is easy to look at them both as cycling but going from the road to the track is like asking Andy Murray to play squash: yes, it's a racket sport like tennis, but it's not the same.
Badminton is like ballet dancing. It requires a lot of control, strength, mind play and measured movement
It was so easy to play tennis, so easy.
I love badminton. That's my sport!
Tennis is a big thing in the Czech Republic.
