View this post on Instagram One of the realist and one of my favorite quotes I ever heard about the sport of tennis🎾🎾🎾💯➡️"Only boxers can understand the loneliness of tennis players - and yet boxers have their corner men and managers. Even a boxer's opponent provides a kind of companionship, someone he can grapple with and grunt at. In tennis you stand face-to-face with the enemy, trade blows with him, but never touch him or talk to him, or anyone else. The rules forbid a tennis player from even talking to his coach while on the court. People sometimes mention the track-and-field runner as a comparably lonely figure, but I have to laugh. At least the runner can feel and smell his opponents. They're inches away. In tennis you're on an island. Of all the games men and women play, tennis is the closest to solitary confinement..." -Andre Agassi from his book Open 🤷🏻♀️🏝🎾🥊 • • • • • • • • • • #tennistrainer #tennis #tennisball #tennisgirl #lovetennis #tennisskirt #tennispro #tennistime #tennislove #tenniscourt #tennisgirls #tennisfans #tennislife #tenniscoach #tennisstar #tennisballs #tennismatch #tennislover #tennisplayer #tennisteam #tennisanyone #tennisfitnesspassion #tennistiptuesday A post shared by Rachel Stuhlmann (@rstuhlmann) on May 22, 2017 at 7:00pm PDT
