Helen Wills Quotes

"Training, in the true sense of the word, however, does not fit in with tennis. Tennis is, fundamentally, a spontaneous sport. That is, it depends upon the enthusiasm, the exuberance, the keenness of the player, far more than the casual onlooker from the side-lines can know… Real training will do tennis far more harm than good."

—All-time great Helen Wills, in her 1929 book, Tennis.

1977: "I don't like the two-fisted shot, except with Chris Evert. She has a way of making it look beautiful."

-All-time great Helen Wills Moody
