		MIKAEL PERNFORS: Well, I think we are a little different, considering he was 15 and I started when I was 23.
		MIKAEL PERNFORS: Well, he is going-- his confidence level is going to have to be on the highest, because the way he goes for broke the whole time, if he goes out there one day and doesn't feel 100%, he is not going to win.
		MIKAEL PERNFORS: Some of it has to do with the fact that players are physically stronger now.

	Merrill Lynch Tour of Champions
		Mikael Pernfors was one disappointed man after losing his third consecutive match at the Vale do Lobo Grand Champions BCP Millennium, and only when the post-match press conference shifted to the subject of British Comedy, did his mood lighten.
		Pernfors is a huge fan of the British television comedy hit 'The Office', as well as the stand-up comedian Lee Evans, and now he hopes to watch a full day's worth of his favourites to cheer himself up after going down 6-1, 6-4 to home favourite Joao Cunha Silva.
		Seeing a collective look of confusion on the faces of all the Portuguese media, Pernfors explained that he was a huge fan of the show, which is set in a typical British office, and also loves the stand-up comedian Lee Evans.

		Pernfors played so well in the first two sets I very much doubt that any player in the world could have beaten him (Im not given to exaggeration, he was just that good).
		The third occasion was the 1990 Australian Open, where Pernfors' fourth- round contest with John McEnroe was excitingly balanced in the fourth set when the American lost control of his fragile temper and became the first player defaulted in a Grand Slam singles for 27 years.
		Pernfors came to London as a late replacement for the injured John Lloyd, leaving behind in his Atlanta home a group of workmen renovating the floors and stairs.

		MIKAEL PERNFORS: I wonder why I thought that question would be the first one.
		MIKAEL PERNFORS: I don't know if a comeback is called a comeback when it's like the third time.
		I think-- I think you'll have a problem finding two guys that hit the ball that easily and-- I mean, not as hard as all the other guys in the second round of the Open, but at least we know we're going to get the returns in, we don't have to worry about it.

		Pernfors, who delighted the crowd with antics and lots of byplay with Wilander, was instantly the sentimental favourite and those watching urged him on in both of his matches.
		Shots through his legs, with his back to the court or kneeling down drew applause from spectators as did the ‘war’ of words between him and Wilander who won the first set 6-1 before losing the second 6-3 and the deciding tiebreak 10-6.
		Wilander promptly served an ace to go 40-15 up and Pernfors quipped “I don’t know why you would want to swear after that” to which his opponent responded “Actually I was preparing him (the umpire) for your outburst” and served another ace to claim the set.
