Contrasting styles is always the most fun to watch

Guys like John McEnroe, Bjorn Borg and Stefan Edberg were also very good grass court players.

I always liked serve-and-volley players and big athletes

I may have exaggerated a bit when I said that 80 per cent of the top 100 women are fat pigs. What I meant to say was 75 per cent of the top 100 women are fat pigs

There are a lot of good memories, and because I was injured, during the rehab, I met my wife. The tennis was very good but the injuries were good for something too

For the first couple of years I played really bad tennis. It was so bad that they booed me off the court

But in 2000, the injuries really started to kick in and my elbow gave a lot of problems. At the end of the year I had to take 20 months off before I could come back into the game

Hewitt is such a fighter on the court; he never gives up. They all have qualities to beat him.

But, then again, I had to stop because there was too much pain or too much trouble. After I retired I still had one more elbow surgery just to be able to do normal things

We listen too much to the telephone and too little to nature. The wind is one of my sounds. A lonely sound, perhaps, but soothing.

She walked fast, to keep ahead of her fear.

You don't want to negotiate the price of simple things you buy every day.

The greater part of all the mischief in the world arises from the fact that men do not sufficiently understand their own aims.

We shouldn't require our politicians to be movie stars. Then again, we're all influenced by charisma. It's hard not to be. We all collectively fall for it.

We meet thus in kitsch with a reappropriation of the results of past struggles.
