I didn't practise it loads when I was at the academy in Spain, but when I got on the ATP Tour it's something I dedicated a lot of time to.

I'll never pay above the odds for something if there's a more cost-effective alternative, so I guess that's where the saver in me shines through.

When I started to do quite well on the tour I thought I'd treat myself to a bright red Ferrari. I had always had a soft spot for them as a car brand and, when I was in the position to afford one, I decided to go for it.

O, let the place of secret prayer become to me the most beloved spot on earth.

To be honest, I think bananas are a pathetic fruit.

I was pretty young when I bought my first place, and at that time didn't really view it as an investment. After living there for a few years I decided to move out of London, so I decided to rent it out for a few years. Then, as the property market continued to rise, I made the decision to sell.

In tennis, it is not the opponent you fear, it is the failure itself, knowing how near you were but just out of reach.
