I was a very shy and introverted person, and it was hard for me to talk to people and make relationships.

For me retiring wasn't hard once I knew that that was the decision I was going to make.

It was very hard for me to practice and enjoy my tennis, and I didn't know the why, so I worked with psychologists to try and see what was happening. They pushed me really hard.

I never thought tennis was going to give me so much satisfaction.

The game has changed a lot and today you peak in your early 20s. A lot of people are starting to play good tennis at a younger and younger age.

I'm actually very introverted. I'm very shy. I'm very emotional.
