Well, maybe at home I don't have the best image.

I have good anticipation, and good reaction to the the ball because I've played so many matches in my life.

And the '99 finals at the French - if I had won that one easily, no one would have talked about it.

I've always said I'm a good horse but I'm still an underdog.

Playing (Serena) it always felt like playing a steamroller. No subtlety, no finesse, just raw, loud power. To respect this style of play was always a bit tough for me, but of course I had to, because the rules of tennis dont state that having a beautiful game is required to become No. 1.

I find this accusation so horrendous, so monstrous, that I have decided to confront it head-on by talking to the press. I am frustrated and angry. I believe that I am absolutely, 100 per cent innocent. I assure you: I have never taken drugs.

I feel a quarter Indian.
