I have this terrible dark side to my personality, which playing tennis keeps at bay
I used to pretend that I was Tom attacking Jerry, who was drawn on the ball
I don't believe in playing hurt, in taking injections to cover the pain.
I did realize more than ever, after the stabbing, that tennis is a business - a tough business.
I have to live for the day, and not worry about or try to know what tomorrow brings.... if I've learned one thing from all that'shappened to me, it's that if you would know what tomorrow brings, you may not want to live it.
I'm about the present.
