I did realize more than ever, after the stabbing, that tennis is a business - a tough business.

Tennis has to become everything to you if you're going to make it to the top. You have to live it.

I don't like salads: I like the strong food.

You will never have great tennis champions from England because of the cold and dark, but most of all because people only care about the sport for two weeks a year, and then they're on to something else. There's just not a great love of the sport there

People think I must have been so talented at an early age, but I don't know - was it talent or hard work? Who knows?

Did you know that Christmas Day is absolutely the best day to fly? It is. No crowded airports and crowded planes. I always flew to Australia. That's what Christmas was for me - a plane journey to the next tournament

I never really did Christmas before. Christmas Day? I mean - what's that? What's it all about? I was always flying on Christmas Day
