• It's something I've always wanted - to be known as an Australian. When I was younger I was always referred to as an Aboriginal tennis player.

It provides a link between Australians of succeeding generations whether urging on a Donald Bradman or cheering and rejoicing in the America's Cup victory. Call it the spirit, the soul of sport - it will be in 2001 the same as it was in 1901.
