I'm pretty athletic, but I'm not very strong.

As athletes, we all have egos, we all think we can help, and when you're not given that chance, it's hard to watch.

I'm not the best athlete.

In all kinds of ways, I used to be really, really hard on myself.

I'm pretty hard on myself in general.

I may not be the most physically tough player, but I think mentally I'm right up there.

I'm very hard on myself. Sometimes too hard on myself. When I lost in the Wimbledon finals, I was so sad, I cried. I had the runner-up trophy! It's still a great accomplishment, but I was so mad.

When you surround yourself with like-minded athletes who are all going through the same thing as you, it gives you more drive and strength to get through those moments when you don't want to do it any more, when you think it's hard.

When you are an athlete, it's difficult to take time off and say you want to come back without everyone judging you and attacking you.
