Lindsay Davenport

“I was never the most athletic. I was never the fastest. I was never the most flexible. I was never the most anything. But I was always the most competitive.”

“I think the serve is the most important shot in tennis.”

“The majors are the biggest tournaments. They're the ones that everyone wants to win.”

“I just try to be a good role model for the younger players.”

“It's always nice to come back and play in front of your home crowd.”

“Tennis is a mental game. You have to be strong mentally to succeed.”

“I'm not afraid to lose. I think that's a big part of being successful.”

“You have to be willing to work hard and make sacrifices.”

“I'm a pretty low-key person. I don't like a lot of attention.”

“I love the competition. I love the challenge.”

“I don't think I'm the most talented player, but I work hard and I'm a competitor.”

“It's a great feeling to win a Grand Slam. It's what you work for your whole life.”

“I never really thought about being No. 1. I just wanted to be the best I could be.”

“When you're a competitor, you want to win. That's what drives you.”
