Famous quotes containing the word tennis:

    “The boneless quality of English conversation, which, so far as I have heard it, is all form and no content. Listening to Britons dining out is like watching people play first-class tennis with imaginary balls.”
    —Margaret Halsey (b. 1910)

    “[My one tennis book] was very, very old. It had a picture of Bill Tilden. I looked at the picture and that was how I learned to hold the racket.”
    —Maria Bueno (b. 1939)

    “Writing free verse is like playing tennis with the net down.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
