I used to play a lot of tennis and then, next thing you know, same thing with tennis. That banging on the knees, the jarring, twisting motion - I couldn't do it. All of a sudden, every time I played, my knee would swell up.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I had pain in both knees my whole career. Not many athletes play pain-free. Mine was just more than normal.
We were doing the dance routine and I dislocated my knee. I've been doing stunts for a long time and it's kind of weird that I'd dislocate my knee just dancing.
I started sailing because I had to stop playing tennis so much, as I had bad knees.
I've played too many tennis hours.
It was very hard for me to practice and enjoy my tennis, and I didn't know the why, so I worked with psychologists to try and see what was happening. They pushed me really hard.
Have you noticed that whatever sport you're trying to learn, some earnest person is always telling you to keep your knees bent?
I screwed my knee up once because I fell off the stage.
As soon as I step on the court I just try to play tennis and don't find excuses. You know, I just lost because I lost, not because my arm was sore.
I used to play a lot of tennis-ball cricket.
Not many people know, but my joints are extremely hypermobile, and that's why I'm more prone to injuries. That's why most of my major injuries were with the joints. I had a career-threatening wrist injury where picking up a fork to feed myself was a problem, and the thought of playing tennis again was so far from my mind.
