The proper method of playing mixed doubles is to swipe the ball accidentally and straight at the woman opponent as hard and as accurately as possible. Male players must not only retain equanimity on their side of the net, but create dissension on the other.
I'm not to eager to play tennis in my spare time. I'm more interested in doing gym work and stuff like that. We have a lot of schools and courts around where I live, so if I really want to play I don't need to go too far.
It's like playing tennis, you play a different rally with different people. Every actor is different and the chemistry between actors is different.
Later, I discovered there was a lot of work to being good in tennis.
I was always in the tennis business-from 1968. I was in tournaments and also on World Team Tennis teams as well.
I don't play tennis at all.

What fun that is, doing voices. I would do them every day if they wanted me to. It's so much fun to go to work and not shave and wear your tennis shoes and your gym clothes. As opposed to having to shave, shower, go to the gym, look good, get ready, go to makeup and hair, and all that stuff. I love doing voices. It's just so relaxing.
When I was younger, I was a robot. Wind her up and she plays tennis.
I never wanted to be the great guy or the colorful guy or the interesting guy. I wanted to be the guy who won titles.
What rivalry? I win all the matches.
I play each point like my life depends on it.
It's that I have a good personality and am a good tennis player.
I think I've already got the main thing I've always wanted, which is to be somebody, to have an identify. I'm Althea Gibson, the tennis champion. I hope it makes me happy.
I was never pegged to be the next great American tennis player by any means. I wasn't a prodigy. I'm a late bloomer. Whatever happens, I'm proud of what I've done.
