I didn't want to just rally at the baseline, even though that happened a lot.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
At least I have precluded the possibility of peaking too early.
There are still going to be great players that are baseliners. That's the way tennis - courts, balls, everything - has shifted. But everyone has to find their own way to win. Not everyone can run around the baseline for five hours. I can't.
Sometimes when you take strong stands, if you're not called to do it, you're dividing the audience you're trying to reach.
The one thing I do that nobody else does is jump three and four times for one rebound.
It took me time to adjust and to realise it was not going to happen like it did in the juniors.
No one tells you what to do if you completely flop at the beginning of a performance.
I was kind of a slap hitter, trying to get base hits, hit line drives, stay below a certain trajectory with my ball.
All ballplayers should quit when it starts to feel as if all the baselines run uphill.
I peaked early. I was told I'd missed my boat.
I seldom was ever off my seat on the bench during the game.
