“People think that there is so much money in tennis, but the reality is unless you're ranked in about the top 50 you don't earn much at all. It is hard to support yourself travelling the world, to be away from home most of the year and to pay for a coach to help you become a better player.” PeopleThinkingWorldYearsHardHelpingHomeRealityPaySupportPlayerCoachesTennisTravel The WorldAway From Home Author:Samantha Stosur
“I get my drive and determination from just winning and playing tennis. I know if I don't work, I won't get rewarded. It was a life long dream to win a Grand Slam so when I was able to do that it felt so good and I wanted to do it again. It's not that hard to stay motivated.” IfsKnowsLongHardDreamAbleWantedWinningFeltDeterminationTennisMotivatedLong LifeSlamStay MotivatedDrive And Determination Author:Samantha Stosur
“I think that's why I play tennis, because of the challenge, because of the competition, .. That's why we love to play tiebreaker in the third set. It makes it more exciting, and the bigger support in the stand, and more fans involved in it. I really enjoyed the competition and took a lot of hard work to make myself No. 1 at 18 years old.” ThinkingYearsHardPlayChallengesSupportFansHard WorkInvolvedThirdsBiggerExcitingCompetitionEnjoyedTennis Author:Maria Sharapova
“I reached this level by sheer dint of hard work, toiling away at scores of tricks and experiments. I used to play with the ball from dawn till dusk and just kept practising. If I wasn't playing matches, it was trying out one on one or two against two with a tennis ball. Then I used to try aiming at certain targets. That's the only way to learn. And if I missed the target, I kept trying until I scored” IfsWayTryingTwoHardPlayUsedCertainLevelsHard WorkBallsTricksExperimentsDawnTennisScoreTargetSheerDuskOne On OneToilingTennis Balls Author:Zinedine Zidane
