You will never have great tennis champions from England because of the cold and dark, but most of all because people only care about the sport for two weeks a year, and then they're on to something else. There's just not a great love of the sport there

I have this terrible dark side to my personality, which playing tennis keeps at bay

People think I must have been so talented at an early age, but I don't know - was it talent or hard work? Who knows?

I never knew I was grunting, it was just part of my strokes.

It doesnt matter who is playing or how old they are. I just worry about what I can control. It doesnt give me more or less motivation.

I think for me, food was a way for me to deal with emotional trouble.

Did you know that Christmas Day is absolutely the best day to fly? It is. No crowded airports and crowded planes. I always flew to Australia. That's what Christmas was for me - a plane journey to the next tournament
