The only surprising one. He also didn't claim to be a great tennis player. In every interview that I've seen he plays it down when it's brought up.

True, he was good at a certain time but he's pretty realistic about what that really meant, maybe even fatalistic. He was regionally ranked, certainly far above average but also far below pro level. His understanding of and passion for the game were intense though.

in the interviews i've seen him in he always talks about how he wasn't very good at tennis. He was better than average, but wouldn't have been able to go pro or anything.

Tennis, partly because it's an individual sport, has an enormous range in skill levels.
