It was a tough year for me, '89, losing two Slam finals and losing another five finals. It wasn't until I won the Masters, or what's now called the ATP Finals, that things changed again. Suddenly I won seven tournaments in 1990 and became No. 1.

I felt better being in the background. That's the way I like it.

I'd won the Australian Open twice, but winning Wimbledon takes something special.

The serve really is the key to my game.

I had one good racket, a Wilson Javelin. It was my favorite racket, and I made the mistake of putting it next to the heater. It just got so hot that it melted.

I've been in a lot of trouble and come out of it. I think it shows a lot of good character.

The crowds can be very loud, especially when you're playing in the evening.
