I've been playing against older and stronger competition my whole life. It has made me a better tennis player and able to play against this kind of level despite their strength and experience.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think all tennis players have to struggle through the early stages of their career. We start off playing tournaments and really just get by. I always had a dream to play in the big tournaments and never have doubted if it was worth it. Having to battle a little early on in my career makes it all the more worthwhile now.
I have been playing tennis for a very long time. Tennis is my life. I see my life in other places, and there are other challenges for me.
I've been around tennis, and I have a feeling for the sport. I still play tennis, and I can still do a lot of harm to a lot of people.
I've been athletic since I was a kid. My parents got me playing tennis when I was seven years old and I started to play competitively.
I have a passion for playing tennis and enjoy the workload and struggles of performing in this amazing global sport.
I'm not saying I'm something special. I might play a little better tennis than other people, but it is because I was given the chance, and not many people are.
You don't just have to be skilled and talented at tennis, but you have to be so physically strong.
Tennis is so competitive. I guess that's the way it has to be.
Tennis was never work for me, tennis was fun. And the tougher the battle and the longer the match, the more fun I had.
Played tennis for years. But you can't improve at tennis after you're 50. You get to be in your 40s, and suddenly you're a doubles player.
