Obviously I would have loved to have won, but I have had a good run every match.

I'd like to say that I am romantic person, but I don't think I am. When I won my first tournament I went into the crowd and kissed my girlfriend. I was 18 and didn't have my coach with me, I was there on my own, and I just needed to celebrate with someone I knew. I always start out with good intentions. I'll say something nice, then I'll just put my foot in it and ruin the moment.

It becomes tricky, and you start to think about the cramps rather than just actually what you're trying to do on the court, which is obviously win the match.

Of my investments that have been realised, buying my first house turned out to be a pretty good move, which I didn't really realise at the time.

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

Faith in a prayer-hearing God will make a prayer-loving Christian.

I've been asked a lot lately if tennis is clean or not. I don't know any more how you judge whether a sport is clean. If one in 100 players is doping, in my eyes that isn't a clean sport.
