Ivan Lendl

“When I was playing, I was very much into my own world.”

“I'm not playing for history, I'm playing for myself.”

“I have a good life, but I must dust.”

“People may say I'm dull, but I'm a good husband and a good father.”

“You have to be a little bit crazy to be a top player.”

“If I don't practice the way I should, then I won't play the way that I know I can.”

“I never looked at the consequences of missing a big shot... when you think about the consequences you always think of a negative result.”

“Tennis is a tough sport. There's no place to hide.”

“I'm not a person who dwells on the past.”

“Certainly I'd like to be like a graceful eagle, but I'm more like a cautious gentle lion.”

“I just want to be known as a good-guy player.”

“The way I look at it, I'd rather miss a shot than not take it.”
