The Battle on the Court Quote

A young boy traveled across Japan to the school of a famous martial artist. "How long must I study to become the finest karate-ka in the land?" he asked. "Ten years at least", answered the Master. "But What if I study twice as hard as all the other students?" he asked. "Twenty years", replied the Master.  "Wait.. why is it that when I say I will work harder, you tell me it will take longer?" asked the eager boy. "The answer is clear," relied the Master, "when one eye is fixed upon the destination, there is only one eye left with which to find the way".
{Focus on the ball, haha}

"Opportunity often comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat."  Napoleon Hill
(and Jimmy Connors also echoed this sentiment.)

Court Courtesy

Tennis is a game that demands intense concentration which can be all too easily
broken by thoughtless interruptions or needless distractions. All players should
be familiar with the generally accepted manners and customs of tennis.
Here are some examples:
   - Dress appropriately. Follow the club's rules.
   - Don't indulge in loud conversations while waiting for a court to become available.
    - When a court becomes available, don't walk to it by crossing the middle or even
    the end of another court while play is in progress. Wait at least until the end of the   
    point and then hustle across the back of the court.
  - When making line calls, always give your opponent the benefit of a doubt.
  - It's generally considered rude to return a service that is obviously out.  
  - Line calls should be made promptly and clearly.  Any ball that is hit without a call is
    presumed to be good and play should continue. If a serve is clearly out, say so and
   don't hit the ball unless you wish to prevent it from going into an adjourning court.
  - When it is your turn to serve, make quite sure that the receiver and/or his partner is
   ready before you begin your motion. But, it is the receivers responsibility to signal
   you if his partner is not ready.
  - Before you serve, announce the score, and any disagreement should be dealt with
   before the point ensues.
  - If you should happen to lose a ball on an adjourning court, don't ask for the ball
   until their point has been completed and don't go behind another court to retrieve a
   loose ball.
  - Be sure to sweep the whole court area when you are finished playing. 
   -  HAVE A GOOD TIME
