I think I owe it to myself and my fans in Britain to play one more Wimbledon.

My parents' divorce made an important change in my life. It affected me. After that, when I can't play Wimbledon, it was tough. For one month I was outside the world.

I will have won Wimbledon this year in 2013, and I will stop with that. It was magnificent. You will certainly see me at tournaments again, but not playing.

I have certainly had my share of long-distance love affairs.

Now that I have retired, and even though I wanted to play more, I can always look back and say that at least I won Wimbledon; also, winning the tournament in Rotterdam in 1995.

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

I remember when I was younger taking more pride in Wimbledon than the French. That and the U.S. Open - they were the ones I wanted to win.

It wasn't my tennis that made me lose, it was a lot of different things going on, high drama, high emotion.

Winning Wimbledon was a great feeling and it is still a great feeling. It has given me so much confidence.

When I won in 2003, never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would win Wimbledon and have my kids seeing me lift the trophy, so this is pretty surreal. And yeah, I was almost shocked in the moment that it all came together so nicely.
