I was a pretty feisty young kid.

I'd also made the first tennis team. I was number two player in the school at 11 years of age and that didn't sit very well with people.

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.

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

Your game is only as good as your second serve

I had started my love affair with Wimbledon.

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.
