I love the feel of hitting the ball hard, the pleasure of a rally. It is these things that make tennis the delightful game that it is. ↗

I enjoy tennis, though don't play very often nowadays, and skiing... oh yes and swimming. ↗

I walk my dogs. I garden a little. I play a bit of tennis. Basically when I have spare time I'm making music. ↗

Team sports aren't my thing. I find it easier to pick something up if I can do it at my own speed. And you don't need a partner to go running, you don't need a particular place, like in tennis, just a pair of trainers. ↗

Well, my mum's been a tennis coach - she coached me till I was 12. ↗

A lot of the players are very complimentary about each other; they embrace at the end of matches because the level of the tennis has been so good. I think that's something that tennis has got to be proud of. ↗

Boxing, mixed martial arts and tennis are the hardest sports to train for. ↗

Everything in tennis is so neat and nice but boxing has sport down to its essence; it is very pure and I like that. ↗

I've been asked a lot lately if tennis is clean or not. I don't know any more how you judge whether a sport is clean. If one in 100 players is doping, in my eyes that isn't a clean sport. ↗

In tennis, it is not the opponent you fear, it is the failure itself, knowing how near you were but just out of reach. ↗
