There Is No Way Around

You Can't Expect Yourself To Be Already Peaking Like Crazy In An Exhibition Tournament.

My Game Is A Lot About Footwork. If I Move Well, I Play Well.

The Serve, I Was Too Young And Too Small And... Not Enough Powerful To Have A Good Serve When I Was Young, So My Forehand Was Always My Signature Shot. So I Used To Always Run Around My Backhand, You Know, Use My Forehand As Much As I Could, And So That's Why I Think It's My Strength Also Today, You Know.

Previously I Always Thought It Was Just Tactical And Technique, But Every Match Has Become Almost Mental And Physical - I Try To Push Myself To Move Well. I Try To Push Myself Not To Get Upset And Stay Positive, And That's What My Biggest Improvement Is Over All Those Years. Under Pressure I Can See Things Very Clear.

Tennis Can Be A Very Frustrating Sport. There Is No Way Around The Hard Work. Embrace It. You Have To Put In The Hours Because There Is Always Something You Can Improve. [y]ou Have To Put In A Lot Of Sacrifice And Effort For Sometimes Little Reward But You Have To Know That, If You Put In The Right Effort, The Reward Will Come.
