Bjorn was a different breed, I threw my best material at him, but he would never smile, but that added to the charm when he played me and Mac. We were going nuts and losing our mind and he was sitting back like he was on a Sunday stroll.

You have to remember that I played longer than anybody else on the main tour; I played until I was 40, and then played another six years or so on the seniors tour.

I had true rivalries. Not only did I want to beat my opponent, but I didn't want to let him up, either. I had a rivalry with Mac, Lendl, Borg. Everybody knew there was tension between us, on court and off. That's what's really ingrained in my mind: 'This is real. This isn't a soft rivalry.' There were no hugs and kisses.

But why should I read what somebody else thinks of my life when I know the real story?

I don't go out there to love my enemy. I go out there to squash him.

I am not looking to be understood or liked. Like me or not, I don't care. I am an outsider, that is the way I was brought up.

Equality? They ought to play the women's final on opening day. Everybody knows who's going to be in it.
