When there is nothing to talk about don't force yourself to say anything because it may land you in trouble.When you do something best in life, you don't really want to give that up - and for me it's tennis.You make a living so you can pay your coaching and, you know, your travels. My dad said if you become a tennis professional just make sure you get into the top hundred, because you have to make a little bit of money.You have the babies, you have yourself and then you have your parents. Before, I guess, mum and dad were everything, but now, in my case, I had two new girls and all of a sudden they're completely dependent on you and there's a third generation.And yeah, I was almost shocked in the moment that it all came together so nicely. When I won in 2003, never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would win Wimbledon and have my kids seeing me lift the trophy, so this is pretty surreal.I see that they, you know, respect me immensely, and I try to put on a good show and show that I can still play very good tennis. Today it's not a problem anymore actually, because now I enjoy it.

And then I would get nervous if my friends came and watched. I used to get nervous, you know if my parents would come watch.Maybe you've already won so much that it evens it out a bit sometimes. But like I said, sometimes in sports it just goes the other way. I did all the right things in so many tournaments.So I used to always run around my backhand, you know, use my forehand as much as I could, and so that's why I think it's my strength also today, you know.

not enough powerful to have a good serve when I was young, so my forehand was always my signature shot.
