I had started my love affair with Wimbledon.

At Wimbledon, the ladies are simply the candles on the cake.

I was in the main draw from the start, my opening match was on Court One against Jan Eric Lundquist of Sweden who was about eight in the world at the time.

That match was late evening and I had the experience of the electricity of the Centre Court because it was packed, a full house for the whole match. It had been a great year for me, first time there and I had the full taste of Wimbledon.

You know, I eat, I ate pretty well anyway so, I'm basically living the same, I just curtailed the stupidity.

I was a pretty feisty young kid.

So there was a fire inside me. And that fire inside you, it can be turned into a negative form or a positive form. And I gradually realised that I had this fire and that it had to be used in a positive way.
