Tim Henman

I'm not really a guy who looks back or has regrets. In my house there's only one photograph of me from my playing days.

No question, when you're talking about Grand Slams, they're the pinnacle of the game, and that's what I want to be winning.

I've always been a very good sleeper. I can sleep any time, anywhere and never lost sleep before a big match.

Wimbledon is quite simply the ultimate championship, and I'd be the first to admit it was the one I wanted to win. A lot has to do with the history and the tradition: the grass courts, the royal box, the grand spectacle of it all.

When playing, I had acupuncture.

Yes, there are times where I might play one bad service game a set. If you look at Sampras, he might play one slightly suspect service game every three sets. So to beat someone like that you've obviously got to be right on top of your game. I've basically got to get rid of that in my game so it makes me very difficult to beat.

The ATP is a difficult structure, it is 50% players, 50% tournaments. And so if you are the chairperson of that organization, it's very difficult to please everyone.

During rallies, it's always crucial to make Nadal cover the whole width of the court. He likes to camp out in his backhand corner, spearing that big off-forehand diagonally across the court. So the backhand down the line is a vital shot, because it moves Nadal out of his most favoured position.

My wife has horses and we've got dogs and cats, so our family loves animals.

The players need to take responsibility for themselves.

Tennis has always been my hobby and I love to play but it's also not a bad way to earn your living and it might help if children knew that.

Tennis is not always that accessible but I sometimes think badminton is harder - tennis you can always play against the wall but badminton is tough to even play outdoors with the wind.

A professional notices any small change to their racket, whether it's something a bit different to the grip, the strings or the frame.

Players need to look at their own tours, which are run separately from the slams, and ask why they haven't improved the funds on offer.

It's always fun catching up with the other players because so many of them were really good mates when I was playing on the main tour. The thing you miss when you give up is that camaraderie that you experienced because, for 35 weeks of the year, it really is a travelling circus.

I was in the football, rugby, cricket and hockey teams at school; bit of squash. Tennis obviously.

For 15 years, I very rarely read anything about myself.

When you are dealing with two players who are almost mirror images, the contest often boils down to first-serve percentage. Who is getting more cheap points on their first serve? Who can dominate the other guy's second serve?

There are too many British players who just aren't good enough. And that's not through lack of effort. But in terms of getting to the top 100, and getting into Wimbledon on their ranking, I feel as though there are too many players who just aren't good enough.

I've realised I've hit enough tennis balls to last me a lifetime.
