In 1980 I was attacked by a dog in Spain and was temporarily blinded in one eye - I thought it would end my tennis career.

For me, I still wish every day that I could play tennis again. It's such an incredible, wonderful job to have.

Wimbledon is a special place for me in so many ways and I feel privileged to have been such a big part of it over the years.

When I was playing, all my overseas trips were paid for by the LTA, then by my coach, and from whatever prize-money I made I would have to pay back as much as I could of the fare. Only once that was paid could I keep the extra, and that was a powerful incentive.

I love to play, and I love the sport, but I don't play it to gain popularity.

I'm 6-foot-4. If my life depended on it, I could still dunk a basketball. Then I would need assistance from a first responder to get down from the rim.

It's frustrating sometimes: as an athlete, you're thrust into the spotlight, and you know, I think this team has always done a really amazing job of understanding that we have this incredible platform; let's do something good with it.

I'm one of those people who can't watch themselves do anything. I could never watch myself wrestle. I've probably watched a handful of my matches. I never could watch myself. Even when I played college basketball, I hated film days... 'Oh God, I'm gonna watch myself screw up.' I'm just one of those people who can't watch their work.
