I've said far worse, believe me — some things that I'm sure I deserve to be criticized for. This story originally appeared in Los Angeles Times.

I was always a better front-runner than a comeback player, because I could keep the doubts at bay when I was ahead, but they tended to seep in when I fell behind.

I had enough inner strength to know I could beat anyone at all, anytime, on any surface. But behind my defenses were some very dark places. There was always a devil inside me whom I had to fight. And the devil was fear of failure. It is 40 years since chalk flew up and the most immortal phrase in Wimbledon history was born.
