I Wanted To Win, Even In Practice.

I Play Tennis Five Hours A Week, From Monday To Friday, For One Hour Every Day. I Like To Be Fit. If I Can't Exercise, I Feel Bad - I Need To Sweat And Run To Feel Like I'm In Good Shape.

It's Not Easy To Part With The Trophies. However, I Do Need To Have Some Long-term Financial Security For Those Close To Me.

As Tennis Players, We Work And We Sacrifice Many Things. To Lose, That's Not A Happy Thing - I Mean Sure, I Was Disappointed. You Have To Come Back Strong. But To Win The Last Point In A Grand Slam Tournament, That's The Most Beautiful And Most Satisfying Feeling You Can Get As A Tennis Player. It's Worth It.

My Greatest Point Is My Persistence. I Never Give Up In A Match. However Down I Am, I Fight Until The Last Ball. My List Of Matches Shows That I Have Turned A Great Many So-called Irretrievable Defeats Into Victories.

Tennis Is A Traditional Game. A Big Sport Like Tennis Does Not Need Too Many Changes. The Game Has Become Too Fast, There Are Hardly Any Long, Interesting Rallies These Days. So Maybe Slowing Down The Courts Could Help. But You Can't Really Stop A Sport From Evolving.
