Not everybody can like what I do, and if you feel that somebody is coming up closer to you and starting the rivalry and everything, you maybe change your position to him.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The rivalry is with ourself. I try to be better than is possible. I fight against myself, not against the other.
We're all just playing our own game. I don't see it as a rivalry. We're just trying to play our best.
I didn't get along with most of the players I played against, but the one guy I did get along with was my greatest rival, so it can be done.
I embrace my rival, but only to strangle him.
I had true rivalries. Not only did I want to beat my opponent, but I didn't want to let him up, either. I had a rivalry with Mac, Lendl, Borg. Everybody knew there was tension between us, on court and off. That's what's really ingrained in my mind: 'This is real. This isn't a soft rivalry.' There were no hugs and kisses.
When I'm in good form there are chances that rivals will worry more about you more than you about them.
I am my own main rival.
I never dislike anyone that I am in competition with. I welcome the challenge. Besides, I get along with just about everyone.
Rivalry doesn't help anybody.
As far as I'm concerned I've never had a problem with anybody, no rivalry.
