With everything else that would swirl around me when I got involved in it, tennis was my main concern.

Tennis is an individual sport, and I am quite a self-conscious person.

It's that I have a good personality and am a good tennis player.

If I didn't play tennis I don't know where I'd be.

Tennis is so competitive. I guess that's the way it has to be.

Even though now I'm pretty popular in my country and tennis is the No. 1 sport, and I'm very flattered that the people recognise me and come up and give me compliments, I'm more a person who likes to have privacy and peace.

If you look at tennis, the girls have become much more attractive; they wear makeup. In my generation, you were a tennis player. It wasn't like you had to look a certain way.

I don't play tennis at all.

I'm not saying I'm something special. I might play a little better tennis than other people, but it is because I was given the chance, and not many people are.

Tennis is for me joy, nothing less than that.
