グガ＠Biofile

Baby Ballsのように若い頃から「将来のトップ１０」と言われる選手ばかりでなく、若い頃に「見込みなし」と言われた選手がトップ選手になるっていうのもいいものですねえ。（このグガとかヘンマンとか。あとはどんな選手がいるかな？）

人生、捨てたもんじゃないと思える。

Gustavo Kuerten Tribute Biofile

Most painful moment? "Forget already [laughs]. Don't remember."

I went for a sponsorship tryout (age 18).

And then the guy said, No, he's too skinny, he has no power [smiles]. I don't think it's gonna be a good idea, a good investment [smiles].

So, for me, it's funny how to look back and see, at this stage, how I was really no big hopes and yet I find my career.

Favorite tournament? "Roland Garros."

Favorite players to watch? "I like watching many of the players. There's not any one that I prefer the most but I think the characters still left are still Safin, Haas, besides Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, Roddick - probably the ones, for me, that bring more attention from the crowd."

Closest friends from tennis? "Lapentti maybe."
