Safranek Tennis Quotes

#1. It was simple reality - most competitive tennis players in my day were privileged, spoiled, entitled and white. Also, many of them were beautiful, fit, tan and of good stock - great big hair and white teeth and long legs. Then there were the rest of us. #Quote by Anne Lamott

#2. Just the other day someone threw a bra duct-taped to a tennis ball. I just stood there, playing guitar, thinking how this was totally premeditated. Some girl sat around inventing a way to get her bra onstage from 40 rows back. #Quote by Dave Grohl

#6. I'm more in that Rafa Nadal high-energy high-octane mold out there. I wear that emotion on the court. That's how I play my best tennis. People either like that or not. And I can't change that: that's who I am on a tennis court. #Quote by Lleyton Hewitt

#7. Onstage, you just have to tell the absolute truth about the character you are playing. You hope you communicate it, and you hope it comes back like a tennis ball.

#10. Playing (Serena) it always felt like playing a steamroller. No subtlety, no finesse, just raw, loud power.

#12. Conversations between people can move like tennis games, swift and unpredictable. There are constant subtle visual and verbal cues, there's innuendo, sarcasm, body language, tone.

Even a boxer's opponent provides a kind of companionship, someone he can grapple with and grunt at. In tennis you stand face-to-face with the enemy, trade blows with him, but never touch him or talk to him, or anyone else. The rules forbid a tennis player from even talking to his coach while on the court. People sometimes mention the track-and-field runner as a comparably lonely figure, but I have to laugh. At least the runner can feel and smell his opponents. They're inches away. In tennis you're on an island. Of all the games men and women play, tennis is the closest to solitary confinement ... #Quote by Andre Agassi

#14. It's something I've always wanted - to be known as an Australian. When I was younger I was always referred to as an Aboriginal tennis player.

#15. Before I got addicted to comedy, I was seriously thinking about playing tennis full time. I joined the tennis team and played with a lot of professionals. #Quote by Carrot Top

#17. The only possible regret I have is the feeling that I will die without having played enough tennis. #Quote by Jean Borotra

#20. I'm sure many people who discover they are destined to be athletes before they know what kind, go through a period of revelation ... when they realise instinctively that this is their game ... I think I realised that those first couple of summers in Barellan when the War Memorial Tennis Club became my playground. #Quote by Evonne Goolagong Cawley

Sperm are ancient creatures, single-minded as coelacanths. They are drawn to the sun, the moon, and dots and disks of all descriptions, including periods, stop signs, and stars. They worship at nail heads, doorknobs and tennis balls. More than one life has been saved by a penny tossed in the air. #Quote by Shelley Jackson

#32. I started my career early." At my raised brows, he said, "Assassin. My deadly gift made me well suited for the job. A single handshake could bring down a monarchy. The money grew over the centuries."

His tone was blank; I couldn't tell how he felt about his past deeds.

"So that's where you got those crowns." Trying to keep things light, I said, "Admit it - you wear them when no one's around. Play air tennis with the scepters?"

"Can I, can I?"

On the verge of grinning, he said, "No, Empress, you may not. #Quote by Kresley Cole
