I've been with Under Armour for a while now. I mean, I love Under Armour.

I didn't like the way a wet cotton T-shirt felt under my equipment. There had to be something better.

Under Armour is new, aggressive, slick, classic but athletic - kind of how I always wanted to be perceived.

I always find it difficult to dress in between seasons, but I quite like putting T-shirts on with a vest over the top and another layer so you can peel them back as the day goes on.

I prefer 100 per cent cotton Ts. They are kinder to lumps and bumps than figure-hugging stretchy Lycra ones and feel nicer against the skin. Extra-long-sleeved T-shirts are a lifesaver for me. I wear them either underneath a shirt with the sleeve pulled out of the cuff, or underneath gypsy tops, tunic tops and waistcoats.

I had an obsession with underarm shields - pointy ones, round ones, full ones, half ones.

I used to wear sleeveless T-shirts all the time on court, but now I've got a brand new look - I've moved on to polo shirts. Sleeveless T-shirts give you real freedom of movement and they keep you cooler in matches, but I just thought it was time for a change.

Most of the hits I take come on top of the shoulder pads.
