I like fast cars. And I like champions.
I'm sure she wants revenge. I'll just try not to let that happen.
Sometimes you want to make your own experiences.
The older you get, the more you learn.
Before I was the hunter. Now I'm the hunted.
I am number one in the world, so I have the right to be arrogant
The game overall has gotten so much better, stronger, more physical parts to the game.
Now that I beat Lindsay I feel much better.
I was never happy that my injuries cut my career short and ultimately forced my decision to step away from tennis. I have enjoyed my time away from the court, a period that has allowed me to experience a different side of life. However, I miss the game and the challenge of competing at the highest level of tennis, and I want to gauge whether I can stay healthy and compete against today's top players.
The top players talk more now, and we have more meetings. We're just trying to get things better. But we still need somebody who could make a difference.
Well, maybe at home I don't have the best image.
We had a poster of the Davis Cup in 1986. It was in Prague, the Czech Republic against Sweden, and we went to watch, so I got the poster. You couldn't get all the posters. You were lucky if you got one.
I don't think it's a low point being in the finals of the French Open, three points away from the victory.
Honestly, I'm more into the computer, the Internet, and checking out scores or the news.
