Medvedev, at number 100 the lowest-ranked finalist ever at the French Open, repeated tirelessly how much it meant for him and his game that he was back together with huber.

``Imagine a miserable guy playing and a happy guy playing, who do you think is going to win? When there is love, you are inspired, you can write poems, you can write music, you can play good tennis, you can write good articles, whatever,'' the 24-year-old insisted.

``It looks like I just have to stick to Anke and make sure she doesn't leave, and then I will be fine,'' he said.

Agassi, 29, said he could concentrate on his game again after being divorced from actress Brooke Shields. ``I am definitely really focussed on my tennis,'' said Agassi, but quickly added that he and Shields shared some``beautiful years.''

Agassi was awarded with the biggest prize on offer as with his epic five-set win in Sunday's final. He became only the fifth player overall and first since Rod Laver (who gave him the trophy) in 1969 to win all Grand Slam tournaments.

Graf, 29, was so overwhelmed with the crowd support en route to her sixth women's title she vowed she will never come back again so that the precious memory will stay.

``If you hear 16,000 people chanting, `Steffi, Steffi,' it is amazing. I have been around the world, but I have not had a crowd like that before,'' she said.

World No 1 Hingis, whose antics earned her loathing from fans during the match, admitted later she had never thought she would lose the match.

``My dress was ready for the picture with the trophy. I believed I would win. I was three points away from it. I wanted to win it so much,'' said Hingis, who also claimed the fans didn't understand her game because it looked so easy.

Almost as much in love with themselves were thewilliams sisters Venus and Serena, who claimed throughout the first week it was only a matter of time until they topped the rankings and won a Grand Slam.
