I have good anticipation, and good reaction to the the ball because I've played so many matches in my life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Whether it's a friendly match, or for points, or a final, or any game - I play the same. I'm always trying to be my best, first for my team, for myself, for the fans, and to try and win.
I'm at my most comfortable out on the pitch when I'm in front of goal with the ball at my feet. It's about being used to certain situations, and with time, you will find, chances don't get snatched at.
Whenever I'm on the pitch, I feel confident.
The more matches I play, the more confident I get.
I think the thing that I get most excited about is the fact that I know I'm gonna have a great match. That's when I get the butterflies. When it's just a regular match or something like that, I may not get that.
When I'm playing my best, like I was at the U.S. Open, I feel on top of the match and able to do exactly what I want. There are other times when you're not in control, but that is tennis and you have momentum changes in every single match.
I look at this as a second life. Every game feels like an event. Every pitch matters. I need that. It elevates your aggressiveness.
I am happy to have played a match and break the rhythm of daily training.
If you're not just a little bit nervous before a match, you probably don't have the expectations of yourself that you should have.
I feel that every time I get the ball at the moment I am going to score.
