I played Mary Joe Fernandez in the semifinals. She was winning the first set. Second set was very close. I started to play this aggressive game. I think I surprised them.

Tennis has had a very positive impact on my life.

I think in the lifetime of a tennis player there are many times where you feel that tremendous confidence.

There were so much affairs of me created by the media... of course I was not always a true single. I had some relations, once also to a famous pop star.

In Argentina at various tournaments, it's great. Every day it's full, everybody's crazy about tennis, everybody wants to play tennis.

I work out in a studio. Every day, regardless where I am, at least two hours. I need it. I can't cease it.

tennis is a 100-mph chess match.
