This Martina Navratilova is a real champion, but with the proper training, I can make miracles happen.
The bigger the bet, the better I played.
I once played amateur tournament tennis six months without double-faulting.
Women's tennis? I think it stinks. They hit the ball back and forth, have a lot of nice volleys, and you can see some pretty legs. But it's night and day compared to men's tennis.
I consider myself just a lovable old man who just loves women. I've reversed 100 percent.
Billie Jean just caught me on a bad day.
I've got to have a bet going in order to play my best.
The second-worst thing in the world is betting on a golf game and losing. The worst is not betting at all.
I'm always ready to play for money.
I've played this game from 12-under to the over-70s. So when they say tennis is a game from the cradle to the grave, you truly have it right.
I love the excitement, the center stage, the limelight.
I couldn't care less about clothes or cars.
I know beating a woman isn't like winning seven gold medals. But how many old guys are there in the world? You think they can relate to Mark Spitz? They relate to me, Bobby Riggs.
I never had any initiative or drive to be a success in business.
It's no disgrace to play against the world's champions and lose by one service break in the last two sets.
I never quit hustling.
Women who can, do. Those who can't become feminists.
I said a lot of things about which I was wrong. Now I have to sit back and take what's coming, and I will. I still like women in the bedrooms and kitchens in that order, but some of them can do other things.
Evel Knievel bet me $25,000 I couldn't ride a motorcycle 650 miles from Las Vegas to Twin Falls, Idaho.
