I think I always wanted to be a professional tennis player. When I was very young I went to the local tennis courts on my bicycle and practiced for hours and hours. My friends didn’t like to play tennis. They preferred team sports like baseball and football. It was difficult to play in the winter because of the cold and the snow. And because I was small nobody wanted to play with me. They didn’t think I could play well. After I won my first tournament they wanted me to play with them. Now I’m rich and famous and everybody wants my autograph. I’m very excited because I’m going to represent my country in a Davis Cup match next month.
