0:01:37 > 0:01:39The first few questions are from Fox Primary School.

0:01:39 > 0:01:41This is from Leonardo.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04We don't really compete against each other because I am playing singles

0:02:14 > 0:02:21This is from Jack and Leah.

0:02:21 > 0:02:27About 800 professional matches in my career and in singles I have

0:02:39 > 0:02:42It is really weird.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44I would not recommend it.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47It was the first time we had to do it at professional level

0:02:47 > 0:02:50and I tried to focus on the ball and not look at who was down

0:02:50 > 0:02:54the other end of the court because it was a bit intimidating,

0:02:54 > 0:03:00perhaps, awkward more likely.

0:03:12 > 0:03:15and the rest of Great Britain's tennis team, who are competing

0:03:36 > 0:03:42play singles and doubles matches.

0:03:42 > 0:03:43In the early years, Britain dominated

0:03:43 > 0:03:49the competition but now they haven't won the title since 1936.
