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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The first rounds of a tournament are always tricky because playing tennis takes a lot out of you.
I give up on spending time on these courts; I give up on practicing before the tournament I hate. I hate this.
Sometimes we get very frustrated here on court. It is tough to control. It is a mistake.
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.
I think it is very important to have a life off the court, and to me, it wasn't that hard to balance tennis and a relationship.
I wish I could have won a lot more tournaments, but I got injured every time I played well.
When I'm on the court, I feel all problems go away.
In tennis, you can make a couple of mistakes and still win. Not in golf. I played three rounds in that Tahoe event, and I was drained. Mentally, not physically.
I think that's what it's all about; you work hard and practice to play on the big courts.
Sometimes it is easy... to enhance your prestige by not exercising your responsibility, but that's not been the tradition of the court.
