Famous quotes containing the words tennis and/or career:

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

    “A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
    —Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
