I lost my dad way too early and it was agonisingly awful. I missed him so much and I hated knowing that I could never again pick up the phone to tell him about my day.
From Monica Seles
Tennis has to become everything to you if you're going to make it to the top. You have to live it.
What I put in the stock market, I don't have to touch in my lifetime. I want to live off my bonds. I want to be that safe.
That's the key to success, isn't it? It has to be fun.
It doesn't matter who is playing or how old they are. I just worry about what I can control. It doesn't give me more or less motivation.
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.
You have to want to play it all day, every day to get to the top.
Tennis is so competitive. I guess that's the way it has to be.
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?
I used to pretend that I was Tom attacking Jerry, who was drawn on the ball.
