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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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'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 wish I could have won a lot more tournaments, but I got injured every time I played well.
Winning Wimbledon was a great feeling and it is still a great feeling. It has given me so much confidence.
I think it was the right time for me to retire because nowadays tennis is too incredibly fast and you can say that my style tennis went out of fashion.
Wimbledon 2014 will be my last slam. To be honest, I am already starting to miss professional tennis, having played at the highest level for two decades. It is what has given me my identity, and I will miss every bit of the action. The thought that I will not be playing anymore is daunting.
When I retired from tennis I wanted to do other things with my life.
Later, I discovered there was a lot of work to being good in tennis.
I won the Wimbledon mixed doubles title in 1980.
I'd won the Australian Open twice, but winning Wimbledon takes something special.
