00:00You need not manage hurt, you need to keep playing on.
00:07Two things, one, there must be fun in the game.
00:11Secondly, there must be a subtle pride at stake.
00:16Believe me, there is no player worth his name,
00:21who has not played in pain, not played through pain.
00:26Believe me, it's not possible.
00:29A Wimbledon semi-final or final,
00:32lasting five hours, six hours, over five sets,
00:36do you think the players are free of pain?
00:41First of all, there is pleasure when the strings meet the ball.
00:47Secondly, I said, there is that subtle pride at stake.
00:51There is the pride of winning against the body,
00:54not the opponent's body, your own body.
