My uncle developed the training philosophy. His idea of good tennis training is basically quite simple: you must try to gain time.

Losing is not my enemy..fear of losing is my enemy.

My motivation is tomorrow, just one day at a time, right?

I am decidedly unfriendly during a golf game, from the first hole to the last.

I admire a lot of people, but in terms of sport I've always loved the mentality of Tiger Woods on a golf course. I always love his eyes when he's setting himself and focusing on his decision; he has a really strong, focused face and believes that he can make the shot.

I just try to win the match by fighting for every point, and running down every ball.

Hard courts are very negative for the body. I know the sport is a business and creating these courts is easier than clay or grass, but I am 100 per cent sure it is wrong.
