Zitat des Tages von Bobby Riggs:
Billie Jean just caught me on a bad day.
My biggest problem is overconfidence.
Women who can, do. Those who can't become feminists.
When I don't enjoy it anymore, I'll stop. But I think as long as people want me to be where the action is, I'll be there. I just love to play tennis.
My philosophy is to make an offer that the other guy can't refuse, because he thinks there's no way he can't win.
If I can't play for big money, I play for a little money. And if I can't play for a little money, I stay in bed that day.
No. 1, women should be in the bedroom. No. 2, get to the kitchen. No. 3, support the man, support the king.
I've got to have a bet going in order to play my best.
Senior tennis is like the younger game in slow motion. It is much more of a backcourt game. The player who had a big game in his prime finds it harder to play that same game as a senior. But any senior who could lob well when he was young can still hit a good lob.
I scouted all the girls at Wimbledon. I wasn't impressed.
If I am to be a chauvinist pig, I want to be the number one pig.
The best poker game is seven-card stud, high-low splits. I mean, it's the best if you don't have to declare high or low, and can win it all with a low straight.
To be a winner, you've got to be an appraiser. You've got to be able to play at your best under pressure. And more money creates more pressure. Money is the finest fuel in the world.
Billie and I did wonders for women's tennis. They owe me a piece of their checks.
Women belong in the bedroom and the kitchen, in that order.
I'm always ready to play for money.
Women's tennis? I think it stinks. They hit the ball back and forth, have a lot of nice volleys, and you can see some pretty legs. But it's night and day compared to men's tennis.
The drop shots and lobs are very effective in senior tennis.
I'll never play for more than I can afford to lose.
The proudest thing I have ever done was to win the singles, doubles, and mixed doubles at Wimbledon.
