Coming through the youth ranks at Fulham is a great honour to me.

Growing up, we were very similar, but Steven got a bad injury. It set him back a year. But for that, we would have progressed at the same time.

When we were growing up, we supported Liverpool.

It would mean everything to go up with Fulham. It is the team that has made me a professional, and it's the team that has given me a chance.

And from the first time I picked up a basketball at age eight - I had a lot of difficulty when I first picked up a basketball, because I was a scrub - there were things that I liked about it.

Anyone that plays knows football is up and down. As much as you want to, you can't control everything. You take what positives you can.

That's what I love about tennis: As an individual sport, you can't hide behind teammates.

I was a hyper kid, so I didn't want to play baseball and wait for the ball to come to me. I wanted to play a sport where I could go get the ball.
