Andy Murray

I think most players would love, at one stage in their career, to say, 'I've been No. 1 in the world.'

I do think your personal life has an impact on your tennis. If your private life is up and down, and you're thinking about what is going on back home, then you aren't solely focused on your job, but when things are good back home, it's so much easier when you're on court. It's not necessarily marriage; it's more having a stable relationship.

I love music. I listen to a lot of it.

One of the things I would have loved to have had was a family that worked better together, although I love my mother and father to bits.

Having a normal knee would make life a lot easier.

Obviously you try to keep as much of your private life as private as you can.

I used to think that losing made you more hungry and determined but after my success at the Olympics and the U.S. Open I realise that winning is the biggest motivation.

Wimbledon, for me, is the most important tournament of the year, so you know there's always going to be people expecting me to do well.

People say to me, 'You don't seem that interested in interviews.' Well, you know, I'm not, often. I'm not going to talk tactics with the press, so you are left with talking about how you are feeling; for me, it is not the most interesting thing to be doing.

Well, my mum's been a tennis coach - she coached me till I was 12.

Staying more controlled mentally stemmed from taking my fitness more seriously. When you're doing track work, sprints and so on, it's pretty painful, but that does make you feel better prepared and therefore mentally stronger when you're going into a match. You know, without a doubt, that you are strong enough to last.

For much of the year, you're just trying to maintain your fitness. It's not often you get a lot of time to really concentrate on improving it.
