One essential thing for a young person is to dream
It's already a very great strength
That feeling is the best feeling in the world
When you know you've worked hard for something and you finally have accomplished it
And you can raise that trophy up over your head
And you feel like, on top of the world

Yes, it's not easy
There's a lot of sacrifice, you have to be very disciplined
But, always the work pays off

Hello, this is Yannick Noah
Hello, this is Mary Pierce
This is Martina Navrátilová
This is John McEnroe
This is Chris Evert
And you're listening to Bon Entendeur

It's better to try and fail than to not try at all
And I think that's very important because sometimes
People view losing, sometimes, in a match, as failure
And I think you can learn a lot from losing
And you build character

The most important thing is to never underestimate your opponent
So you've got to be ready for a very, very tough competitor
The most important thing is to always try to learn
You have to, you have to be ready to suffer
To be the best possible
Things in life, they always happen for a reason
And always for the better

Some people become great champions 'cause they work harder
Other people have the great talent
The greatest players that ever lived combine this great talent
With hard work
Give your best, no matter what
And then you know exactly where you stand, and you have no regrets
You have no regrets

The most powerful mantra I've had
Is, behind problems there is always an opportunity
There are more lessons after a defeat than there are after a victory
If you're gonna be a professional tennis player
The one thing that you do have to have is
Enjoying what you're doing
