everyday fan football life massive matches parents watch
My parents weren't very sporty, and football wasn't part of my everyday life. I was never a massive football fan either, but, like everyone else, I used to watch matches on TV.
drawn fan favourite great liked players watching
I've always been a big fan of Thierry Henry. I enjoy watching all the great players, really. But we're always drawn to some players more than others, and in my case, it's Titi. He's my favourite player. I also really liked Luis Figo when he was at Real Madrid.
diner favourite french
My favourite film is 'Le Diner de Cons,' a French movie.
losing positives
I always try to find the positives in losing a match, but it's not always easy.
I am really close friends with Roger Federer and also with Benoit Paire.
grew interested obviously popular sports surrounded
I grew up surrounded by tennis, so I was obviously more interested in it than football - particularly as it's the most popular sport.
I like to go to Mauritius on holiday.
chance eat food love lucky simple travelling
It's simple - I love food. I am travelling all-year round, so I have the chance to eat every food possible, so I am really lucky with that.
expected good grand slam
I never expected to win a Grand Slam because, for me, I was not good enough to beat those guys.
defeat fail home improve losing positive tennis unless win work
As a tennis player, you have to get used to losing every week. Unless you win the tournament, you always go home as a loser. But you have to take the positive out of a defeat and go back to work. Improve to fail better.
