By Matt Trollope
Favourite holiday spot?
My hometown Olot, in the north east (of Spain) in Catalonia.
Finish this sentence: "If I wasn't a tennis player, I'd be ..."
Most likely a normal student. I don't know (what I'd study) but most other
people study so (if I) wouldn't be a tennis player, (I would) have chances to
be a student.
Best moment on court?
Obviously when you finish a match and win, I think that's the best moment ...
for me it was very special when I played in Paris Bercy (in 2006) the year
that I was playing for (a place in) the Masters Cup in Shanghai, and I beat
(Sebastien) Grosjean (in the second round) when I was a set and 5-2 down. If
I was to lose this match I wouldn't be going to Shanghai ... that was a very
special one.
Did you make a New Year's resolution?
No.
What are you listening to on your iPod?
I don't listen to music very often. I listen when I'm going in my car, or
when I'm bored in the room I just put on my iTunes and just put random music
... The good songs that are there on the radio at the moment, things like
that.
If you could pick any player from history to be your doubles partner, who
would you choose?
Stefan Edberg - I liked a lot when he was playing, the way he was playing, I
think he was a really kind guy, he was doing a lot for the sport ... I would
like to play with him
Forehand or backhand?
Forehand.
Sweet or savoury?
Sweet - chocolate, ice cream.
Beatles or Rolling Stones?
Can it be another one? (He gets the go-ahead) ... Something modern.
Which actor would you get to play you in a movie about your life?
I don't know - someone who costs me no money and he can do it good. Because
if I get Russell Crowe or someone like this it's gonna cost too much money
for me to do the movie!
