Steffi Graf Best Quotes - The Legend Women Tennis Athlete.

You can't measure success if you have never failed. I never look back, I look forward. You can have a certain arrogance, and I think that's fine, but what you should never lose is the respect for the others. As long as I can focus on enjoying what I'm doing, having fun, I know I'll play well. When you lose a couple of times, it makes you realize how difficult it is to win. Age, what is it? It's not a figure that has ever meant anything to me. It doesn't hurt to lose my crown, it hurts to lose. There is no relief at it being over. There is the joy of winning it. Sometimes I wish I could have been a bit more relaxed, but then I wouldn't have been the same player. I don't like the word businesswoman. Perhaps committed mother would be the best description. I think it takes people to get to know you and the recognition comes over time. I suppose it's amazing how quick life goes by when you have children. I am a person who sticks to her word. I've thrown away lots of my old diaries, you never know who might get their hands on them. But I have kept a few notes on the good old days.
