Russell Brand, for being his own man.

I have to say myself, because I know everything that he’s been through and still continues to go through. I admire him. So I vote me – I like him.

Alan Bennett, because he has been such a huge influence on me.

Playing tennis, competing, winning, but also being at home in Spain, in Majorca, with my friends and family.

These tics do bother me. Could I play a match without them? Yes, without some of them. I don't have to touch my nose or put my hair behind my ears before I serve. That's possible to stop. Not putting the bottles in front of my chair, I could go without that, too. But adjusting my underwear, that I could never get rid of. It's impossible.

I don’t think I have one in particular. I am pretty calm. Just some small things that I better not comment on :-).

Selfishness and no respect for the others.

If I don't do that with the bottles, then I sit down, I could be thinking of something else. If I do always the same things, it means that I am focused and I'm alert to think purely about tennis.

The word says it all. To be a friend means that they are always there, for the good or the bad.
