This page contains quotes from Norman after his comeback in 2002. More will be updated, so come and check back often! " It's so tiring mentally that I'm almost going dumb" (Norman tells a Swedish reporter after she pulls out of Tunis) "Well thing didn't turn out the way I wanted in Tunis." Bueno Aires "I'm feeling better and better. I'm not feeling
any pain, I just need more rhythm." (after
losing to Chela in the first round) "..I'm hitting the ball well..." (Norman talks about his own performance in Argentina) "..a too mild penalty in my opinion.." (Norman comments on his opponent Chela before their first round match)
Vina de Mar "probably the happiest defeat of my life." (after losing his first match in 2002 to Massu) "Normally you are very upset
when you lose, but I was happy because my body was there and I could do what I
love most - play tennis. I was told that there was a big chance that I would not
play tennis again and I've fought very hard to get back onto the circuit." "For the past six months my goal has simply been to come back and play tennis again. Now that my hip is fine, my goal is the same as it has always been - to win Roland Garros. Obviously I have to work on a few things before then - I'm not moving as fast and I have to lose some weight - but my hip is fine. " (his goal for 2002, very ambitious indeed! ) "I was very happy to see Thomas (Johansson) win the Australian Open, and I hope that I can get back up there and win a major too." (I'm sure you'll do well in Roland Garros, Norman!)
