I did realise more than ever, after the stabbing, that tennis is a business - a tough business.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Everything is tennis for me, it's my career and it's entertainment, but it's also a business.
It's a pity that the tennis is really going down the drain. Every year it's getting worse and worse and worse. There has to be a radical change, and I hope it will be really soon.
There is this brutal side to tennis. It was invented as a game for kings and cardinals and people with a lot of power who didn't have to share the field with other players.
Yeah, I think there are many other important things in life, not just tennis.
Once you succeed in tennis, financially you become quite well off.
No matter what happens, tennis is still tennis: You can see a lot of great matches, a lot of new people.
Tennis is more commercial these days.
It's an amazing feeling: tennis is growing very quickly in Canada, and to be a big part of it is an honour.
Later, I discovered there was a lot of work to being good in tennis.
Tennis doesn't owe me anything. Tennis is one of the fairest sports. It's given me so many extraordinary feelings.
