My biggest problem is overconfidence.
I like to be at the top of the ratings.
I scouted all the girls at Wimbledon. I wasn't impressed.
I always rise to the occasion for that big bet.
Pressure makes me produce. Kills most guys. Mortifies 'em.
If you're betting all the time, everything is just another bet. You don't even think about the money after you've made the arrangements. You're used to it.
People said I was tanking, but Billie Jean beat me fair and square.
The man is king. The man is supreme.
I'm out to prove that a guy 55 years old, with one foot in the grave, can play with the best woman in the world and maybe beat her. It'll be a big boost for men's superiority.
An old ham like me needs to be on stage.
I'll never play for more than I can afford to lose.
When I don't enjoy it anymore, I'll stop. But I think as long as people want me to be where the action is, I'll be there. I just love to play tennis.
I like to bet on as close to a sure thing as you can find.
Senior tennis is like the younger game in slow motion. It is much more of a backcourt game. The player who had a big game in his prime finds it harder to play that same game as a senior. But any senior who could lob well when he was young can still hit a good lob.
The drop shots and lobs are very effective in senior tennis.
I have to admit, I underestimated Billie Jean and overestimated myself.
I am the greatest money player in history.
I am the finest defensive player in the game.
I'm a woman specialist now. I'm going around the world to challenge all the woman champions. England, France, Czechoslovakia, everywhere.
I'm like a fire hose when the alarm goes off in a battle against a woman. Don't ever count me out.
