Number one, or Nothing

My greatest point is my persistence. I never give up in a match. However down I am, I fight until the last ball.

My list of matches shows that I have turned a great many so-called irretrievable defeats into victories.

Bjorn Borg

If you’re afraid of losing, then you daren’t win.

Bjorn Borg

It’s tough when you’re No. 1. You don’t have any private life, you can’t even walk anywhere. I think that was one reason why I lost my motivation to play tennis.

Bjorn Borg

There was so much more to Swedish great Bjorn Borg  than his laidback character and cool style (both on and off the court). A two-handed backhand and monumental stride, for starters.

During his 10-year career — he shocked the world when he retired at the age of 25 — Borg won 11 Grand Slams and an extraordinary 89.8% of his major matches.

In this pursuit of perfection, nothing was ever left to chance –

In 1981 Borg had lost, twice, to John McEnroe, the first and only player to get his number, at the final of Wimbledon and at the US Open. he went straight to the airport and never looked back.

Borg had no interest in being the number two player in the world, it seemed.

It was Number one, or Nothing.

Heart for Tennis is Art of Tennis .

Love all.

I’ve done it

I’m a happy man, because I am successful in what I do, of course;

but what makes me most happy is I have people around me that I love and who love me back.

This, for me, is the most important thing. Nobody likes to be alone.

Novak Djokovic

Tennis players we’re always playing in center courts that feel like arenas.

And when we get on the court and the crowd cheers your name or salutes you – it’s like you’re a gladiator in the arena.

And everyone is cheering – and you’re fighting, you’re screaming, during your strokes –

it feels like you’re an animal, fighting for your life.

Novak Djokovic

In my case, I can sincerely say that nothing is impossible…

When I was saying I want to be No. 1 of the world, and I was seven or eight years old…

most of the people were laughing at me because it seems like I have one percent of chances to do that, and I’ve done it.

Novak Djokovic

Serbia’s Novak Djokovic today returns to the top of the FedEx ATP Rankings for a fifth stint after capturing a record-extending eighth Australian Open Men’s singles title 2020 .

Djokovic, who has now been World No. 1 during nine of the past 10 seasons (2011-16, 2018-20), will break  Roger Federer’s record for most weeks at No. 1 (310 weeks) if he stays at the top until 5 October.

“That’s one of the two biggest goals, for sure. I mean, there is no secret in that,” said Djokovic, after winning in Melbourne.

His Australian Open 2020 win takes Djokovic’s Grand Slam championship tally to 17 (third in the all-time list behind Federer on 20 and Nadal on 19) and gives him a strong lead in the year-to-date FedEx ATP Race To London.

Love all is the Start of Service.

Hand of God

Lesser players play great for a set, but then less.”

The money in tennis never drove me.“

I like to let my Racket do the Talking .

Rod Laver

Staying Interested in a match is a lot Harder than many people think .

Throughout my career , I’ve always had trouble in the early rounds of a Tournment mainly because it was hard for me to psychologically get up until I got to the Quarters or the Semis.

What happened a lot of times is that I would fall behind early, may be even lose first couple of sets in a Five set match and then began to concentrate.

Still it wasn’t something I could control from the Start.

Rod Laver

Great players play like Swan Floating on Water .

It is a Experience to see them play ……. A pinnacle of Human endurance , Training , Commitment , amd Artistery .

Tennis is a Game of Service and Starts with LOVE ALL .

Love all
