The Swiss ace won the ladies title at Wimbledon in 1997 before returning a year later with Jana Novotna? who she defeated in the singles final to win the ladies doubles.
“It’s amazing, it more than I thought was going to happen when I came to Wimbledon. It reminds me so much of 1998 when I last won a Wimbledon title.
“I guess it’s all down to my love for the game but it was only after winning the Miami Open earlier this year that it started to become a priority.
“You realise that when you start to win tournament’s that this is fun. Sometimes you just need someone to remind you of how fun it is,” she said.
