Basically I started playing double handed on both my forehand and backhand side because my first racket was very heavy.

I'm amazed that years after I stopped playing tennis, people still recognize me in restaurants and ask for my autograph.

You know growing up in Sweden meant we had a lot of rain when we played tennis. We were taught on clay courts but because of the weather, we had to go indoors a lot.

It's not easy to part with the trophies. However, I do need to have some long-term financial security for those close to me.

As tennis players, we work and we sacrifice many things. To lose, that's not a happy thing - I mean sure, I was disappointed. You have to come back strong. But to win the last point in a grand slam tournament, that's the most beautiful and most satisfying feeling you can get as a tennis player. It's worth it.

My greatest point is my persistence. I never give up in a match. However down I am, I fight until the last ball. My list of matches shows that I have turned a great many so-called irretrievable defeats into victories.
