Giovanni looks proudly at the Trophy!

"My favourite surface is grass. I have dreamt of playing at Wimbledon since I was very little" Giovanni speaking at Wimbledon (July 2001)

"When I was two sets down I was thinking I was still playing better than Arvind.  I hung in there and was soon inspired and I started playing unbelievable tennis."

"This is the best day of my life and I dedicate this victory to my country."
Giovanni on beating British Davis Cup player Arvind Parmar to give Ecuador a 3-2 win at Wimbledon No.1 Court (July 2000)

"There are no words to express how I feel now.  It is unbelievable to be Orange Bowl champion and I am going to remember this all the time forever.  I will keep on practicing and getting strong and try to win and get more confidence."
Giovanni after defeating Alejandro Falla from Columbia to win the U16 Orange Bowl (December 1999).  [Giovanni had been injured for most of the season with tennis elbow and only got into the Orange Bowl tournament as a Wild Card].
