You should just enjoy it, but as soon as you decide that it is going to be your career, no matter whether you want to be a doctor or an architect or anything else, you need to work 5 hours a day.- Guy Forget
You can be a little lonely because it's an individual sport.
When you are very little tennis should be fun, it should be a game.
When you are a professional sportsman all the guys are great competitors in the top 50.
When we want to reach a dream for the second time, you want it to come true, when you try so hard, you are so close to achieving it, it makes things very difficult to live with afterwards.
To be a professional tennis player you need to put in these sort of hours.
There are some guys you have problems beating because of their style - I always had difficulties with guys like Michael Chang and Andre Agassi because their returns were so good and they played so well in defence.
Suddenly in the end when it's over, you feel a big weight on your shoulders. That's the role of the captain. Unfortunately, it's sometimes like that in sport.
More than specific memories of achievements, for me I remember the feeling you get when you were just at your very best - when you felt like you were floating across the court and could put the ball wherever you wanted.
It's better to have done because then you know what the player is going through and you understand the pressure, but then on the other hand I know a lot of people that were good players but not good coaches, and vice versa.
It's a tough world out there and all the guys are fighting hard and the competition is really tough.
If you win, fine, if you do not, you try again next year.
If you lived the doubles, as I did, which was very stressful, you are sitting down in a chair experiencing a match without being able to hold a racquet in your hands.
I think our strength is this strong relationship we have all together.
I think each player and myself live things differently because I have no physical effort to make.
