“Roger Federer and my boyfriend, Tiger Woods, inspire me. It's incredible what they've done in their respective sports, especially Roger. He is the nicest and humblest guy. You would never know that he's the best tennis player of all time. And Tiger is so mentally tough. He can block everything completely out and stay in the moment.” KnowsDoneMomentsGuySportsPlayerInspireToughIncrediblesWoodsBlockAll TimeTennisTigersRogerMy BoyfriendTennis PlayerFedererMentally Tough Author:Lindsey Vonn
“I don't go out of my way to get noticed. When I'm in Scotland it's tough, because loads of people come up to me. They're always really polite. It's nice, it's fun and good to speak to people who aren't involved in tennis, but some have this habit of just staring at me and that makes me really self-conscious. I'd rather they came up and said hello.” PeopleWaySaidSelfSpeakFunNiceHabitInvolvedConsciousToughCome UpMy WayStaringTennisLoadPoliteScotlandHelloSelf Conscious Author:Andy Murray

“Bruno opened his eyes in wonder at the things he saw. In his imagination he had tough that all the huts were full of happy families, some of whom sat outside on rocking chairs in the evening and told stories about how things were so much better when they were children and they'd had nowadays. He thought that all the boys and girls who lived there would be in different groups, playing tennis or football, skipping and drawing out squares for hopscotch on the ground. As it turned out, all the things he thought might be there-wern't.'' -The boy in the striped Pajamas” ChildrenDifferentStoriesMightWould BeEyeGirlImaginationWonderBoysSawsGroupsFootballToughDrawingEveningSatHis EyesTennisChairsSquaresBoy And GirlPajamasHutsHappy FamilyRocking ChairsHopscotch Author:John Boyne

“This time last year I would have said Federer would beat Sampras's record. Now I'm not so sure. His aura has gone. He's not as dominant as he was, and since I beat him in Australia he's looked frustrated. Players are beginning to challenge him now, especially myself and Rafa. He's got 12 Grand Slams to his name and maybe he will beat Sampras, but now I'm here it will be tough for him.” YearsSaidLastsNamesChallengesGoneRecordsPlayerBeatsToughTennisAustraliaLast YearFrustratedDominantSlamAurasMotivational TennisFederer Author:Novak Djokovic
