Q&A with Jamie...

Ed: What did he get you for Christmas?

Jamie: He got me a return flight to Australia and a video camera thing which is pretty smart.

Ed: What did you get him?

Jamie: I got him some PSP games.

Ed: Not bad…

Jamie: (laughing) I did slightly better than him!

Ed: This one’s from Jambon. He wants to know what you get up to at home in Scotland.

Jamie: Nothing major. I train a bit at the Uni, and see my friends down there. Keep it on the downlow…

Ed: What about films, going to the cinema?

Jamie: No I’m weak on that. I’m into Prison Break and Lost, all that stuff.

Ed: I’m missing Prison Break tonight for this, such is the level of my professionalism…

Jamie: Yeah but you can download it off the internet though!

Ed: Marmite, love it or hate it?

Jamie: Hate it, for sure.

Ed: Andy?

Jamie: Not sure, he definitely doesn’t eat it.

Ed: This is a good one, who would be your ideal tennis partner past or present?

Jamie: Good one….I’d like to play with Johnny Mac…

Ed: Who wouldn’t?

Jamie: Exactly.

Ed: Aside from Mac, who else?

Jamie: Bob Bryan….tough question. Purely for doubles?

Ed: Well here’s the thing, It doesn’t have to be a doubles specialist, It might be someone who doesn’t play dubs. The ultimate would be to roll out Federer I guess?

Jamie: Just to hold serve at 5 all in the third!

Ed: Xenon also wants to know what your goals are for this year.

Jamie: Hopefully to get into the top thirty, then I can play all the Masters Series and stuff, which would be big because then I can play every week on tour.

Ed: She also wants to know what you really think of the nickname chicken wings, which seems to have taken off for you.

Jamie: It’s funny because there’s an Italian guy who plays and he came out with it…

Ed: Chicken wings is a good one. I’ve been called worse in my time.

Jamie: I can imagine!

Ed: This is a question from Shaun. He wants to know why you’ve been wearing Adidas recently…

Jamie: Got an Adidas contract these days!

Ed: That’s pretty good man…getting pretty big there Jamie! What’s next, sponsored cars?

Jamie: If I get a license!

Ed: You don’t drive either?

Jamie: I’ve had lessons, but I’ve never done the test…

Ed: You and your brother are the two weakest drivers I’ve ever had the displeasure of talking to. So who’s the better driver instinctively?

Jamie: Him. I’m not very good, I don’t like it so much. I’ve been driven around all my life then suddenly to be in control of a car is a bit scary.

Ed: What’s your view on carting?

Jamie: I can do that, but the fear factor’s still there a little bit. I hold back a little bit.

Ed: How do you fancy your chances in a head-to-head battle?

Jamie: We’ve done it before, he took me down!

Ed: He fancies himself as a bit of a player on the race track…

Jamie: He’s pretty good.
