I feel like I have as good a shot as anybody out there and I have gotten close in the past, so why not have the attitude that I can come out and play great tennis and maybe even win this tournament.
From Michael Chang
I still have a belief and a faith that some great things are still going to happen in my career. If I didn't believe that, it makes no sense for me to be out there, and on top of that, I know this is a period of time that God wants me to persevere through.
I look at tennis as a bit of a platform to hopefully touch lives and encourage people.
It has been a difficult road this year, but still I look at every day as a new opportunity.
It's like one of those dreams you have when someone is chasing you. You're running as fast as you can, and someone's trotting behind you, just out of range, trying to grab onto you.
You can work really hard, but if you're not training in the right way you're not going to improve and get to the level that you want to.
I didn't have the ability to blow people off the court, so I needed my legs, my preparation and the ability to think on my feet.
All of the Spaniards are really talented. I don't know what they eat.
The first initial feeling, at least for me, was to go out and play well and hopefully win and have the Asian community be even more proud.
In the tennis world, there weren't a whole lot of Asians playing. You see it a little bit more now. The same can really be said for basketball.
