Once You Reach A Good Level In

I Love Tennis! I've Always Felt Like This Because It Is Such A Classy Sport With A Great, Competitive Flair To It.

The Problem Is Not The Claycourt. The Problem Is, You Know, Rather Something To Do With The Conditions On Center Court. Because I've Played Well On Suzanne Lenglen, On The Other Courts. But The Chatrier Court Is Really, Really Big, And I Just Haven't Had Enough Play On It. Maybe I Come Here Next Year And Play A Week On This Court, If I Can, If The French Federation Lets Me. We'll See. I've Been Playing Well In Other Tournaments, In Davis Cup On Clay. So For Me It's Not The Surface, It's Rather Maybe The Court.

There Is No Way Around The Hard Work. Embrace It.

When I Was 12 Years Old, I Was Just Horrible. My Parents Were Ashamed To Watch My Matches. I Would Play On A Court At The Local Club And They Would Watch From The Balcony. They Would Scream, 'be Quiet' To Me And I Would Scream Back, 'go And Have A Drink. Leave Me Alone.' Then We Would Drive Home In A Very Quiet Car. No One Speaking To Each Other.

One Should Just Be Able To Play A Perfect Game.
