The game overall has gotten so much better, stronger, more physical parts to the game.

A lot of these young girls, they dont even know what the game is about. They have never seen a drop shot, a slice and all the mixture and variety I have.

When I was 4 my mother got divorced and we were very close to each other. I always wanted to be with her. She took me everywhere. When she went for dinner with friends or when they had meetings at the tennis club, I was always there.

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.

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

The top players talk more now, and we have more meetings. We're just trying to get things better. But we still need somebody who could make a difference.

I did things I should not have done. But people make mistakes, especially at my age, when you feel you are so smart, but in fact you are an asshole.
