Andy Murray

Tennis is an individual sport, and I am quite a self-conscious person. ”

I hate losing. ”

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. ”
