I talk about Marcelo Rios, who reached number one at 23. He had talent but he didn't have what you need on the inside to put the talent to work. But if you ask me for the one who had almost everything and was a lefty, and I have to say Marcelo Rios.
You put the good against the good and you get excellent players, and then eventually that becomes the best.
Jelena Jankovic is the 10th number one player I have worked with in the world. But Rafael Nadal has done well with his uncle and his support team and he has stayed at home in Mallorca.
"When I started to take the photos, Marcos started to dance to the music and take off the shirt very slowly in a very sexy way, like a belly dance. When everybody returned, he did an Andrew Ilie or Pat Rafter by tearing his shirt to pieces!"
"By far the most seductive player was Tursunov. He kept playing with my camera and flirting with the make-up artist Vinca! He was great and easy to shoot."
"He was my favorite. What a body! He got so involved in the shoot and knew exactly which photographs were the best." ベルダスコ
"a strong presence and beautiful eyes," モナコ

(フェデラーはナンバー1に戻るでしょうか?) 「チャンピオンを葬り去ったりしないものだよ(原文は"You never write off a champion. ")。トップに戻ると考えたい。でも、今この時点ではナダルが世界でベストな選手で、その位置にふさわしい。年度末に彼がナンバー1じゃないなんて想像できないからね。(後略)」
You never write off a champion. I would like to think he would get back to the top. But Nadal is the best player in the world at the moment and he deserves his spot because I just can't see how he won't be the number one at the end of the year.
Federer needs to change a little bit. If he can change his game I think he'll be number one again.
I didn't realise that he would be this good but has proven to be one of the greatest.
But everyone has had different reasons why they haven't been the greatest of all time.
Defendía mi tesis llamada ‘ATP: ayer, hoy y mañana’, en la que hablaba de la profesión desde el punto de vista legal, hablé de los seguros del tenista, de la pensión que tenemos, del doping y las apuestas, problemas grandes hoy en el deporte…
The campaign, which runs through August 15, 2008, will give five lucky winners and their fathers, the chance to play tennis with Federer, tee it up with Tiger Woods, or play soccer with French striker, Thierry Henry.
"Now, in this moment I am enjoying more the small things. The [first-round] win is bigger for me maybe than winning tournaments before. Maybe people don’t understand that but if I understand that myself, it’s enough."(今、この瞬間、僕は小さなことをエンジョイしてる。僕にとって、今の1回戦勝利は以前の優勝より大きい。他の人にはわかってもらえない かもしれないけど、自分がわかっていれば十分さ。)
