Summary

In part one of our exclusive interview with Goran Ivanisevic, the Croatian talks about playing for his country while it was being torn apart by the Balkans War, how the weight of his wooden racquet created his now famous service action, and how he was unhappy for three years following his 1998 Wimbledon final defeat. Elsewhere, David and Catherine chat about the Shanghai Masters 1000 event, and David tries to get Catherine to reveal once and for all who she was supporting in that Ivanisevic vs. Pat Rafter Wimbledon final.
