No - I'm quite calm inside during the game for most of the time - not 100%, but generally very calm.

I've stayed calm when I'm winning and I've stayed calm when I've lost. Tennis is a sport where we have a lot of tournaments every week, so you can't celebrate a lot when you have big victories, and you cannot get too down when you're losing, as in a few days you'll be in the next tournament and you'll have to be ready with that.

I practice staying calm all the time, beginning with situations that aren't tense.

Sooner or later you learn that you belong in the big leagues, and that makes you calm down.

I am pretty chill before games. Have a go-to routine that keeps me busy until we are ready to take the court so I'm not just sitting around anxious for the game.

I felt very calm and controlled. That's what you've got to feel and do when it's time to win. It's easy to say, hard to do.

When I compete, I tell myself to be calm. It's not something that's the rest of your life. You're in gymnastics for fun.

In my situation there are often things I need to do for the team, so when I get the chance to relax it's all I want to do.

Personally, I think I am much calmer under incredibly stressful situations, and I've learned to deal with pressure and nerves, which is key to being a performer of any caliber.

Since the trade, I was just thinking about this day and mentally preparing to not get too excited. I knew I was going to have some extra adrenalin out there so I was really doing what I needed to do just to stay calm, you know, just try not to do too much.
