Back In East St. Louis, Tennis Wasn't

Big Money Encourages Tanking. In My Opinion, Tanking Is Going On Even With A Lot Of The Top Guys Today - It's Quite Evident.

You Have To Remember That I Played Longer Than Anybody Else On The Main Tour; I Played Until I Was 40, And Then Played Another Six Years Or So On The Seniors Tour.

There Was Never Anything I Wanted To Do More Than Play Tennis. Never Once Walked Out There And Thought, 'i Wish I Was Doing Something Else.' Not Once.

Playing In Front Of 25,000 People And Millions More On Television, And Performing And Doing What I Worked So Hard To Try To Accomplish Was, In My Opinion, The Ultimate. Do I Miss It? Of Course I Do.

The Minute You Think You Know Everything About Tennis Is The Minute Your Game Starts Going Down The Tubes.
