I was 7 years old and my dad gave me a wooden tennis racket.

I play a lot of golf and I'm in a little ice hockey league at home in Idaho.

I really enjoyed playing Yannick Noah - he was and still is my favourite. In the heat of the moment he was very fair and very physical. He was strong, big and he moved unbelievably well. He was also mentally tough.

I'm not Borg Two, I'm Wilander One.

I love camping out, I love teaching tennis.

The conditions change so much at the French Open, you know, you have to be prepared for something you really don't know what it is. You can practice in the morning and it's fine, and the weather is great then you come to play in the afternoon and it is drizzly and the conditions are totally different.

Del Potro is one of these miracle men he can come up with these matches where you least expect it and he pulls something out of the bag. I have no idea what it is but he becomes a magician.

It is basic, serve at the weak point of your opponent.

I'm a useless guitar-player. When I put myself in a band I immediately became its weakest part. I was like my forehand volley at tennis.

Only so many can succeed. Only one can be number one.

Ninety five percent of the field is not competitive when Nadal is playing.

Miloslav Mecir - best anticipation of any player in our generation for sure. The most flexible... and then crazy good hands. He is the best player in the world to not have won a slam, for sure. No question in my mind. He should have won three or four.

Andy Murray's already done what is needed for British tennis, which is ignite it. There's a person, there's a player that kids want to be like.

I still rate my first victory in the French Open at Roland Garros as my best win ever.

Sure, it comes with a lot of bonus rewards, whatever it may be, some of it may be financial. And it is great to have been No 1 in the world, when you get a bit older you can reflect on it. But I was No 1 in the world before I actually was No 1 in the world, in my mind at least.

To me, Dan Evans is an example of somebody that puts the clock back a little bit and tells everybody: 'Listen, tennis is not a freak sport where you need to have rich parents, who sit in your players' box for every single week of the whole year, and you need to talk to your coaches' box between every shot.'

The biggest mistake we usually tend to make with young players is over-coaching.

If it doesn't mean more to a normal human being like Dan Evans, who could change his life and career by winning not a gold but a bronze medal for Great Britain, if he doesn't want to take that chance, I would say something is wrong with the Olympics in what it's worth in tennis.

There's definitely a lack of self-belief in many players, which is the only complaint I have about men's tennis.

I was a really good ice hockey player when I was a kid. Now in the aftermath I think I wasn't maybe big enough, and I couldn't have put on enough muscle to actually be able to play with the better guys, but I was a really good skater.

Everyone has a temper, but in Sweden, no one throws a racquet or screams. We show more manners and common sense. This is a game, not war.

At Wimbledon if it is slightly wet you don't even play the match. At the French Open you need to just get on with it and somehow adjust.

Svitolina moves a little bit better than Ostapenko but Ostapenko goes for it a little earlier in the rallies. The way she plays she can take you out of the equation.

If an athlete like Michael Jordan played tennis, he would be the best - he's flexible, not too bulky, and has unbelievable hand-to-eye coordination.
