For the first couple of years I played really bad tennis. It was so bad that they booed me off the court.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was so horrifically bad at tennis.
It was very hard for me to practice and enjoy my tennis, and I didn't know the why, so I worked with psychologists to try and see what was happening. They pushed me really hard.
It wasn't my tennis that made me lose, it was a lot of different things going on, high drama, high emotion.
As soon as I step on the court I just try to play tennis and don't find excuses. You know, I just lost because I lost, not because my arm was sore.
Tennis was never work for me, tennis was fun. And the tougher the battle and the longer the match, the more fun I had.
I was very, very shy as a younger girl, just petrified of people. Tennis helped give me an identity and made me feel like somebody.
With everything else that would swirl around me when I got involved in it, tennis was my main concern.
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'm actually a pretty good tennis player!
I did a really good job of sticking to the tennis court.
