Interview With Carlos Moya
The Spaniard has emerged again as one of the world's best players.
Q:2002
I think it has been my busiest so far. I didn't win a Grand Slam and I wasn't
No.1, but it has been a difficult year. After injuring my back, it wasn't such
a good year (1999, 2000). It was tough to come back, but I won four tournaments
and I beat players that I never beat before. I got into the Tennis Masters Cup
again so I think it was a great year - the best in my career.
Q:Most important victory in 2002
[Defeating Sebastien] Grosjean in Paris, because it gave me the chance to get
to the Masters Cup in Shanghai and I saved six match points. The [Tennis
Masters Series in Paris] was a tournament that I didn't want to miss. I really
loved that match.
Q:On beating Lleyton Hewitt 4 out of 5 times in 2002
I think when I play him, when I beat him, I play a great match. Maybe it's
hard for him because he can't find my backhand and I can play with my forehand
the most part of the match. But still I think sometimes you have a player you
don't like to play and it looks like I'm the player that he doesn't want to
play. But when I beat him, I play 100%. He's a great fighter and his shots are
good. He has a good serve a good return. He plays his best. He wants to win so
bad he gives everything to win that match and he does it very well.
Q:Most important victory in my career
There are two of them: [Alex] Corretja in the French Open final in [1998], and
against [Gustavo] Kuerten in Indian Wells in 1999. Then I got to No. 1 after
that match.
Q:Goals for 2003
To improve, to be a better player.
Q:Challenges in my career
Well the toughest one was when I was injured in '99. I was Top 10 at that time,
then I wasn't able to play a tournament for six months, so I think that was my
best return ever, to be back where I am now after such a bad injury.
Q:My coach (Juan Bosch)
We've known each other for a long time. He is one year older than me and we
played tennis together when we were 12 and 13 years old. He was better than me.
We grew up together and we have so many things in common. He knows me really
well and at this stage in my career, he is the right person. He travels with me
every week and he knows me 100%. He knows what I like, what I don't like. He is
the right person for me.
Q:Why I love tennis
It gives you the chance to do so many things, travel, get to know people, to
know so many places. I love the competition. If you do well, you win. If you
don't do well, you lose but it's up to me. It's something I really like.
Q:How I take defeat
It depends what kind of defeat. There are so many kinds of defeat, but if it's
a bad one, you just think that it is the worst thing in life. There are so many
other things that are much worse than that. You just take it as part of the
game.
Q:Strongest part of my game
My forehand.
Q:Worst opponent
Well, there are guys that I haven't beat like Philippoussis, Sampras. These guys
are really tough for me to beat.
Q:Ideal dinner guest
When I'm with my family and my girlfriend.
Q:Music I like
I like U2 and Spanish music.
Q:What makes me angry
Injustice.
Q:What makes me laugh
A funny movie.
Q:What makes me happy
Many things make me happy - to see all the people around me doing well, are
healthy. That's enough for me.
Q:All-time favorite player
I liked Stefan Edberg a lot when I was growing up. I watched him, his game, how
he was.
Q:A sport I am terrible at
Well I'm not very good at skiing, I was skiing when I was a boy, but I wasn't
very good at it.
Q:Role models
My family.
Q:If I weren't a tennis player...
I've never thought about it but, to study, to be at University like people my
age.
Q:My perfect day would be...
Winning aGrand Slam final, that would be perfect.
Q:Bad habits
I'm always late. I try, but it's not easy.
Q:My happiest day
When I got to No.1.
Q:Life after tennis
To get married, have babies, the same as everybody. I don't know if I will be
working in tennis or not. Ten years is a long time so I don't know.
Q:Pete Sampras, the greatest player ever?
To me it's enough to win 14 Grand Slams and be No.1 for six years in a row. I
think it's enough.
Q:Who I think is the "next big thing"
Young Spanish player (Rafael) Nadal. He is 16 years old. Maybe not now, not
before Srichaphan or whoever, but in a few years time he will be there.
