Mats Wilander Quotations

She definitely hits the ball a lot harder than me, or even than most guys on the men's circuit. She has got unbelievable ground strokes, she is a fighter and not afraid to go for her shots.

He has a lot going on upstairs. Too much, I think, ... Life is not as simple for Marat Safin as it is for a lot of other players.

He'll never beat Roger Federer unless he becomes a little more aggressive so I think it's time for him to maybe think about changing his game a little bit.

James Blake's playing tennis for the right reasons. He's playing to have fun and to find out about himself, not to win the U.S. Open.

I think when you get a player involved that cares and loves to play, it brings up the level of the tournament and the commitment of the other players as well to make it successful.

I think it's time Hewitt might take a good look at his game and maybe try to be a bit more aggressive, and think ahead.

That's the nature of the surface. It's a little slower and the bounce is a bit higher.

Who knows, she can then be the top-two or the number one, or even win a Grand Slam.

You make so many mistakes because of the wind. I wouldn't say I'm a good wind player ? nobody is a good wind player ? but I'm an above average wind player.

He's matured. James Blake has grown up, not unlike Roger Federer. He's slowed down his mind a little bit. He's playing smarter. He's a little more in control of his game.

To me, Hewitt and Nadal would be the best spirited fighters I've ever seen on the tennis court.

You can't be considered a great player unless you win Wimbledon. That's the way it is.

When you become a top player, you think that nothing else and nobody else matters. You can tell everybody on earth, 'Listen, I'm playing tennis, I don't have time for you. I'm in the semifinals of the U.S. Open, screw everybody and everything else.'

Sports is about balls and about heart and you don't find too many champions in any sport in the world without heart or balls. He might have them, but against Nadal they shrink to a very small size and it's not once, it's every time.
