Girls had never been important. I'd had a girlfriend or two and had liked them a lot but it wasn't love, because my first love was tennis.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There was at time in my life where all I wanted was a relationship, and I thought that was the most important thing.
I wasn't really interested in girls. Only football. I was just enjoying football all the time. There was a five-a-side next to the flat, and I used to play there all the time. It was all about football. I wanted to be a professional. That was my goal. I didn't want to be anything other than a footballer.
I wasn't like most girls.
I was never a girl who thought about getting married. Being in a relationship wasn't my priority.
I had started my love affair with Wimbledon.
My first love was singing and I had no time for boys.
When I was 16 the first girl I had a crush on wasn't interested at all. I liked her from afar for ages, and when I eventually got the courage and told her, and she wasn't into me.
I was very, very shy as a younger girl, just petrified of people. Tennis helped give me an identity and made me feel like somebody.
She was my first love, and I loved her as only a boy loves.
I was never very interested in boys - and there were plenty of them - vying with one another to see how many famous women they would get into the hay.
