Best shot Serve
How often do you change your strings during a match ? I usually change my racket two times during a
match.
Your ritual(s) on the court Not too many but when I serve, I like to get the
balls from the ball girls/ ball boys on my left-hand
side.
Your « luckiest » situation during a match or a tournament Roland Garros 2003. I remember my first round
match against Monica Seles - I was down 4:0 but
ended up wining 12 games in a row. I then went
on all the way to the semifinals, where I lost to
Kim Clijsters.
