I had started my love affair with Wimbledon.

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

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.

There was kind of a code that you had as an Australian that you never left the court losing unless you had blood all over you. That's the sort of toughness you need to compete on the world stage and I feel that our kids today just don't have it.

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.

I chose to stay with tennis and they didn't understand that at the school.

They wrote it that my moustache was insured for 13 million.
