I think there are more questions in the first week than we've seen in a long time.
I was too young to take it all in. I was too young to even realize I was young. I was just living my life.
The prize money for first place was $2,800, but I didn't take it because I was still an amateur.
My mind started wandering. I started playing carefully, instead of playing the way that had gotten me to that point. I had to force myself to keep driving the ball.
Make sure your daughter's goal is her goal, not your goal.
My sister and I are opposites in many ways. She is six feet tall, while I'm five feet four.
I began playing in the Pacific Coast Indoor Tennis Championships.
From one match to the next, I kept on winning.
I won the Wimbledon mixed doubles title in 1980.
I was planning to remain an amateur for a while.
My brother Jeff is now my agent at Advantage International in Washington, D.C.
Pam has always been my glamorous big sister - 13 years older than I. She played on the women's circuit for nine years and came home to tell me stories of France, Japan.
I started tennis around age 2.
