I'm a different person off the court than I am on the court, where I'm very competitive, a perfectionist, and I can be hard on myself sometimes. Off the court, nothing really bothers me. I'm easy-going.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm just a very tough person when I go on the court, and I really don't want to lose.
I've always been an unselfish guy, and that's the only way I know how to play on the court and I try to play to the maximum of my ability - not only for myself but for my teammates.
It seemed to me that I had barely reached the Court when people were trying to get me off.
When I am on court, I am so focused on what I am doing, that's all I think about - trying to win the next point.
People are intimidated in court, and I try to make them more comfortable.
Oh, I get pretty fired up on the court. I try to play with a lot of emotion, especially when I'm playing in front of a large crowd. I want to go out and do my best, and to do that, I have to play with the most energy possible.
That excitement on the court, I'm the same way off the court. I like to have fun, meet people; I like to give high-fives to the kids courtside. Just have fun. That's kind of my personality, that's how I've been.
I'm just happy that I get the opportunity to do the things on the court that I do in practice.
Yes, I have had difficult times on court and at certain tournaments but you need to forget about it and go forward because that's the way it works in our world.
When I'm on the court, I feel all problems go away.
