I played Mary Joe Fernandez in the semifinals. She was winning the first set. Second set was very close. I started to play this aggressive game. I think I surprised them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I began playing in the Pacific Coast Indoor Tennis Championships.
This was a special week and a special victory for me. I played some great tennis.
I played at the Sainte Maxime Beach Soccer Tournament, which was brilliant fun as usual.
I played softball. I was on an all-star team. I traveled with the team. I loved it.
I was World Series champion in individual and synchro for the first time which was awesome.
When I first joined the team, I was playing with the likes of Mia Hamm, Shannon MacMillan, Tiffeny Milbrett - all those big-time players. It was very intimidating. I had some of these players' posters on my wall growing up, and now I was able to play with them.
I'd like to think I could have and should have won more, but that's not the point. And I was at the point where I was playing great tennis in the mid 80s - the type of tennis people hadn't seen before - and I was very proud of that.
I did pretty well at the Sydney Olympics, but those were my first Games.
The only woman I have played in my career was my wife and I beat her easily! But she wasn't much good.
That first play I did in New York, Rogelio Martinez's 'When It's Cocktail Time in Cuba,' I played a young Fidel Castro.
