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)

    “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)

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