Ever since I first picked up a tennis racket as an eleven year old in Long Beach, California, I’ve crusaded to improve the sport I love. I battled country club elitism and snobbery, the reactionary establishment,“shama- teurism,” racism, homophobia, and sexism. Winning thirty-nine Grand Slam titles, including twenty at Wimbledon, and thumping Bobby Riggs in the famous “Battle of the Sexes” match gave me the public platform I needed. Early on, I learned the power of words. They can make people laugh and cry, think and argue, and ultimately inspire us to do good and great things. Tennis history has always been a huge fascination for me. I loved stories about the tradition-breaking flamboyance of Suzanne Lenglen, the classic elegance of Helen Wills Moody, and the serve-and-volley boldness of Alice Marble. As an enthusiastic teenager, I not only dreamed of playing like these champions, I wanted to be like them. Lenglen liberated tennis women in the 1920s with her attitude as much as her then-risqué attire. “I just throw dignity to the wind and think of nothing but the game,” she proclaimed. Those words stuck in my mind, as did the eloquence of Helen Wills Moody, the first American to dominate women’s tennis. Seventy years ago she said, “Concerning the limits and limitations of the women’s game— why should we believe there are any?” My thoughts exactly! That passion for tennis is reflected every day around the world, whether it be at a gritty public court in Compton, California, where Venus and Serena got started, or Centre Court at Wimbledon—my favorite place in the world. Tennis players tell it like it is. They praise and lambaste opponents, confide xiii 925-7 FM r1 11/15/04 10:07 AM Page xiv xiv Foreword their hopes and fears, talk tennis issues, and express themselves in every con- ceivable way. Andre Agassi is one of my favorite players because he’s a champion off the court, too. He’s raised millions of dollars for charities, and his college preparatory academy in Las Vegas has given hope to hundreds of disad- vantaged children. After Andre rebounded from a devastating career slump to win Roland Garros in 1999, he said, “I’ve got to say, what turns me on more than anything is just making a difference in people’s lives. That’s one thing I’ve taken with me and I’ll keep. Probably even more so than the accomplishments itself at the French Open is the fact that some- where along the line it gave hope to people.” Paul Fein, an award-winning journalist, is also a sectional tournament player, former satellite tournament director and regional TV commenta- tor, and teaching pro, who knows first-hand about the pressures, joys, and disappointments of competition.

The Argentine is 5-16 against Federer with all five wins on hard courts, none more meaningful than when he rallied from a set-and-a-break down to deny Federer a sixth straight US Open title. Del Potro can prevent history from being made again as Federer and Rafael Nadal are one win from meeting for the first time at the US Open. The Swiss and Spaniard have been this close six times now, including in 2009, when del Potro defeated Nadal 6-2, 6-2, 6-2 in the semi-finals before beating Federer in the final. • Nadal’s quarter-final opponent on Wednesday is #NextGenATP player Andrey Rublev. The 19-year-old Russian is the youngest US Open quarter-finalist since Andy Roddick in 2001. Rublev would be the youngest semi-finalist at the US Open since Lleyton Hewitt in 2000 and at any Grand Slam event since Nadal at 2005 Roland Garros. A teenager has never defeated a World No.
