"What I like most about tennis is the beauty. It is the art. The way the players move their feet, the way they move around the court. I have a lot of respect for tennis players because . . . in tennis, if you have an off day, you are out. These guys have to perform every single game, every single ball. That is the standard they set." --Thierry Henry

No "special teams", no backup player, no blaming someone else, no time limit on matches, no coaching, no cheerleaders, no sitting on the sidelines, and no mercy from the player on the other side of the net.
