| | The Big Interview - Virginia Wade | Special reports | Guardian Unlimited Sport |
 | | Wade says: 'I think there is this message that comes across that, in order to do well, you have to give up the rest of your life. |
 | | Wade also believes that, because the British game is rarely put in a realistic context (Keothavong, the British number one, has a world ranking of 188), there is unfair pressure on players to succeed, often beyond their true ability and especially at Wimbledon. |
 | | Wade is tennis ambassador for the insurance company Hastings Direct, the main sponsor of the pre-Wimbledon grasscourt tournament in Eastbourne. |
