I love the winning, I can take the losing, but most of all I love to play.

I want to be a hero, a small and good kind of hero, even though I know heroes have very short lives.

If I go into a club now, all the blonde girls leave my corner and all the black girls come into my corner. It's as if I'm racist towards white girls!

Every time you are not practicing someone else is.

I was in the tennis bubble. I wasn't thinking about the big picture. I didn't notice what they said on television, I wasn't reading any papers. I had a coach and a manager, and they kept me in the bubble.

I don't know how many millions of photographs have been taken of me.

Girls had never been important. I'd had a girlfriend or two and had liked them a lot but it wasn't love, because my first love was tennis.
