Luke Jensen Quotations

Yesterday I was on the court with Roger Federer, so I can bring something like that or a conversation I had with him to this clinic. I communicate that to players here in Montana and then they're a little bit closer to the top of the game and what big time players are thinking about what it takes to become a better tennis player.

Cardio tennis is great. It is great for the sport but, most important, it is great for the player. It is fun, players can get fit and they can improve their game too.

These weren't unforced errors; these were pure winners, ... This was artistic play. You had to think tactics out there. You had to have guts out there.

I've always known how talented James Blake is. It's not that his game is different. It's his demeanor.

Tennis for me is the same whether I'm playing in a tournament or instructing, ... I just have a passion for the sport and love the game. That's what I tell all the kids I work with about life. Just find something you love to do and be passionate about it and it won't seem like work.'

It's fun to give kids high fives. Dads can tell their kids, 'That's Luke Jensen, he serves with both hands.' My dad used to talk to me about Rod Laver and Pancho Segura. The beauty of sports is that it crosses all generations and genders.

Oh, the bald look? A lot of questions why, and I have a bunch of fun stories to give people. The big thing is I was losing a battle with my hairline. You know, I was in that between thing, and chemicals weren't working. I figured if (Andre) Agassi can do it, I can do it.

I need a squeegie to get all this sweat off my head.

He's an outstanding player. I'm just happy to be in Hawaii. I'm lucky I get paid to play tennis and show these kids how much fun it is. This used to be a conservative game, now we have music, rock 'n' roll tennis.

All true competitors in any field and walk of life take adversity and are strengthened from it. They develop a reputation of determination and toughness that wins more decisive moments in life than winning shots. Bobby Blair was one tough player. Playing him was like going into a phone booth with an angry bobcat. His massive talent was only surpassed by his courage to hit the big shots under the most pressure. No one ever looked forward to playing him. It was going to be pain and suffering if you wanted to go the distance it took to beat him.

I always find that what's unique to my clinics is the credentials I bring to the table

McEnroe respects one guy -- himself, and that's it.

I don’t have time to worry about the things that could happen. I am too busy thinking of all the happy things that have happened.
