But in a tournament, you can be said in for all your money at any point so you can't make any mistakes so you have to, it's all about where you're sitting at the table.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't play a lot of tournaments, but if I don't win a tournament in a year, people are like, 'What in the world is going on?' People don't realize how hard it is to win tournaments. You're not going to go out and play 10 tournaments and win one of them. Your odds aren't that good.
When you start playing tennis, you don't imagine there's a whole bureaucracy behind the tournaments and all of that. You just think about winning the cups.
When you start off a new tournament, you want to do well.
Every time I go into a tournament, I'm strictly on my own. I know I'm playing for my bread and butter.
I try to win every tournament.
I don't think there has been enough communication between the players and the tournaments. In one sense it's just as much the players' fault. Players talk between each other and in the locker room about things that can be improved and then when the time comes to talk and really do something about it they stop.
I don't play in tournaments, but I follow some.
What tournaments want to do, typically, is support charities in their community that need the money and charities that are impactful to their community. The better the job the tournament does for the charities, the better they are able to sell the tournament and raise money for the charity.
You don't win tournaments by playing well and thinking poorly.
If you go into a tournament thinking that you're not going to do anything, you might as well not be there because you won't achieve anything.
