TENNIS Ilie Nastase - 0

Is former world number one Ilie Nastase a Hillary man, a Barack man or a Sophia Loren man? Eurosport.yahoo.com finds out in our new feature.

- If you were one of the A-Team, who would you be?

I would be the guy who was a good actor, who passed away. George Peppard (Hanibal).

- If a grizzly bear and a tiger shark had a fight who would win?

I would say the shark. It's more vicious I think.

- What is your favourite film?

I like this French actor, Louis de Funès, he is always funny in his movies. He played the Gendarme in Le Gendarme de St. Tropez.

- When was the last time you threw a punch?

When I was a kid I threw a real punch, not a fake punch, because I threw a [fake] punch at Mohammad Ali. He told me, "You threw that punch at me because I wanted you to throw that punch at me, otherwise you're not allowed."

- How big is your television?

Regular, I'm not crazy about these big sized TVs.

- Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton or John McCain?

I would go for a change, so I'd take Obama. I think it's time for America to change because we saw how the States was before. I don't want to see the wife of Clinton again in the White House, we already saw her there.

- Who is your ideal woman?

Sophia Loren

- What is your culinary speciality?

I used to cook Italian food, but now I'm on a diet and not allowed to eat pasta, which I like to cook. I lost about 20 kilos and I'm about the same weight now when I was playing tennis 34 years ago.

- Is darts a sport?

No. Sport is something where you use your body.

- What car do you drive?

BMW.

- What is your favourite gadget?

My car.

- What annoys you?

What annoys me? You!
