I was a very shy and introverted person, and it was hard for me to talk to people and make relationships.

The difficult part was to tell the world that I was finishing.

Tennis has had a very positive impact on my life.

It's amazing, it doesn't feel like it has been 10 years since retirement.

I carried through well with my tennis. I got the respect by usage of the tennis racket.

I never thought tennis was going to give me so much satisfaction.

When I lose a match, I know that I lose on the court and not in life.
