Basically, that is very impressive. 64-69? did you see the Aussie player Rod Laver knocking around the dressing rooms? He won a few grand slams - think he won the US oen year, certainly won Wimbledon and the Oz open a few times.

Boy do i remember some good matches between Laver and Emerson, they were classics. Unfortunately they wouldn't let me in the men's dressing rooms.

Shame you couldn't just barge your way in and introduce yourself :-).

80s was my time. John McEnroe is a legend here (although apparently not a class act when it comes to treating women in the right fashion). A couple of Wimbledon's ago, all the living ex-winners were paraded and McEnroe was easily given the biggest ovation - even bigger than British winner Virginia Wade. There's something about McEnroe that people warm to - same with Jimmy Connors. Tennis was so much better in the 80s as there were some real characters playing - from the 90s onwards they became like machines with the likes of Lendl, Sampras, Stich, Krajcek etc.......... anyway, a British winner in the next millenium would be good :-)

Did you set goals for yourself when you were younger?
Did you achieve them?

Yes, I set goals and achieved most of them when I was younger. To this day, I am a firm believer in setting goals, and would say I achieve the majority of them. A few seem to elude me, though.
