So it's quite a comical response.

And we had 20,000 people in the stadium full on a Monday.

Which is unheard of.

Then we played the Canadians because I agreed to play with a Kenyan friend of mine, Paul Kessa.

And I said, you realize this is going to be difficult if we play.

So that evening we played Lerone LeBlanc, the Canadian number one doubles pair.

So we sold another 20,000 tickets that evening or whatever it was, 10,000 or 20 or whatever it was.

So difficult experience.

We win the doubles match, move in second round, then it quiets down for our next doubles match.

But the following day, on the Tuesday, 1 o'clock, Stefan Edberg, world number one, playing Mats Wielander, former world number one.

Same slot as me, 1 o'clock, 500 people in the crowd.

For me, I think the more interesting match is that.

But it just shows you what press and what the situation can arise.

So these are the experiences I've been through in my life.

And, you know, sometimes we try to protect ourselves or protect our ego in the press.

Well...

Ironically, growing up in Montreal, it's a French-Canadian part of Canada.

I was English background.

I was actually named after my grandfather, Greg, who never wanted to leave the United Kingdom.

I've always had a British passport through my mom.
