Has a huge passion for food and cooking and wants to be a chef after tennis career: "I love cooking and knowing more about food. It's a dream of mine to be working in that sector after tennis. I like making food that you can share with other people.You need time to practice, like tennis. I like something simple like pasta with tomato sauce. It's not easy. They are very simple ingredients but you need to treat them well. It takes time and you need to respect what you are cooking. I just like cooking for other people. Here's my effort and let's see if you enjoy it. I don't have a very big ego and food is like this for me. I want others to be happy with my cooking."
