For me retiring wasn't hard once I knew that that was the decision I was going to make.

I was a very shy and introverted person, and it was hard for me to talk to people and make relationships.

I never thought tennis was going to give me so much satisfaction.

It was very hard for me to practice and enjoy my tennis, and I didn't know the why, so I worked with psychologists to try and see what was happening. They pushed me really hard.

I didn't know what was going through my mind.

There were so much affairs of me created by the media... of course I was not always a true single. I had some relations, once also to a famous pop star.
