A couple of days ago, saying goodbye to my children.
Meeting Richard Ratcliffe outside the Foreign Office during his hunger strike to try to get action to free Nazanin. I’m moved by the loyalty and strength of that couple and their family.
Couple of days ago, reading a thank-you note my parents had left after we celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in Wyoming.
When our baby took to the boob for the first time: happy tears at him having his first feed, but also sad at the thought of how many more boobs he’ll seek out before he’s truly happy.
I've never set out to be a spokesperson for women's equality. My experience of working with Amelie Mauresmo gave me a small insight into attitudes to women in sport and, because it was unusual for a male tennis player to work with a female coach, I am often asked about that. Working with Amelie was, for me, because she was the right person for the job, and not a question of her sex at all. However, it became clear to me that she wasn't always treated the same as men in similar jobs, and so I felt I had to speak out about that.
Professionally, when I lost my first Wimbledon final. I am also disappointed I didn’t learn Spanish when I lived there.
I am happy to sit in silence with my wife and I think that is a good sign – we are just happy being in each other’s company.
