Hello Anne, I'm sure you enjoy all of the tournaments you play in England, but would you say your favorite hard court surface/tournament is Luxembourg, since you've done so well there in the past?
I guess it should be! If I can make the final there next year then it’ll definitely be my favourite tournament!
Hi Anne. Do you train your hardest in November/December or do you use that time to relax?
I train hard all year round but I guess in November and December is the time where as a tennis player you can go extra hard as there are no tournaments to get ready for.
Hey Anne. Who would you most like to win the ATP World Tour Finals this November? Will you go and watch the action?
I’m not too fussed about who wins the ATP Tour Finals. I think I’ll go and watch the tennis one evening during the week as there’s always a pretty good atmosphere there.
You travel so much as a tennis player, do you like to drive when you’re at home? What would be your dream car – do you have it?
I enjoy driving when I’m home and I drive a Jaguar XF. I’m not in to flashy cars, as long as it works and it’s comfortable then I’m happy.
Hi Anne. I am an aspiring tennis star and I was wondering; how important is your diet and nutrition in helping you achieve your potential?
I believe everything in moderation is the healthiest way to go about your diet and nutrition. I don’t deprive myself of anything but i don’t indulge in bad stuff too much either.
Well done for winning the Barnstaple title. What will it take to win a Grand Slam from your point of view? Is it something you ever dream of achieving?
Thank you. Winning a Grand Slam is a little way off for me right now and it might have to stay as a dream!
Hi Anne, congratulations on your great form of late. Are you glad the season is coming to an end or do you want it to carry on?
Thank you Lily. I wish the season could go on for a little longer but at the same time, I’m looking forward to some much needed rest. There’s been a lot of travelling this year like always and I wouldn’t mind being in the same place for a few weeks.
Do you have a target for what you’d like to achieve at the 2012 Australian Open?
Right now, I have no real target. I just want to carry my current form in to 2012 and keep improving.
What do you have planned for the off-season? Will you go on holiday anywhere?
I’ve decided to stay at home in London for the off season. I will take some time off after my last tournament but I don’t want to go anywhere or get on another plane! Staying at home for this period of time feels like a luxury.
Hi Anne! If you could have a dinner party consisting of two ATP players and two WTA players, who would you pick and why?
Marie-Eve Pelletier because she made me laugh a lot during WTT and Renee Stubbs because she has an opinion on everything and I find her funny too. From the ATP Tour, Rafa Nadal because I have a crush on him and Jonny Marray because he’s just a top guy.
