"If you're afraid of losing, then you daren't win."

"My greatest point is my persistence. I never give up in a match. However down I am, I fight until the last ball. My list of matches shows that I have turned a great many so-called irretrievable defeats into victories."

"It's not easy to part with the trophies. However, I do need to have some long-term financial security for those close to me."
