I would like to see it go back to the wood racquets. To see the touch put back in tennis.

I was maybe only 13 or 14 when I started to play junior tournaments.

I just wanted to play tennis. I started because I wanted to pick up another sport and then as I was slowly getting better I wanted to see how far I can go but I always wanted to be myself. I wanted to be original. I didn't want to copy anybody's style.

I started when I was 8 years old, which is obviously nowadays pretty late, but I guess in my generation it was all right. I had plenty of other interests and I didn't do only tennis.

I would like to see it go back to the wood racquets. To see the touch put back in tennis.

I think it was the right time for me to retire because nowadays tennis is too incredibly fast and you can say that my style tennis went out of fashion.

Seems like most of the kids today are into other sports other than tennis.
