Greatest Female Tennis

Famous quotes containing the words greatest, female and/or tennis:

    He is the greatest artist who has embodied, in the sum of his works, the greatest number of the greatest ideas.
    John Ruskin (1819–1900)

    Said an ape as he swung by his tail
    To his offspring both female and male,
    “From your children, my dears,
    In a couple of years
    May evolve a professor at Yale.”
    Anonymous.

    I know some of my self-worth comes from tennis, and it’s hard to think of doing something else where you know you’ll never be the best. Tennis players are rare creatures: where else in the world can you know that you’re the best? The definitiveness of it is the beauty of it, but it’s not all there is to life and I’m ready to explore the alternatives.
    Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
