When I play my match, I can't think about anything else except what I'm doing on my side of the net.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The main thing is just really to play my game... and while you are playing the match, as it goes along, you kind of figure things out.
It's a question of keeping one's eyes and ears open and watching how other people play the game. They're watching me too, to see what my attitude is like.
When I'm sitting at home in the off season and I don't have anything to do, I watch tennis on my computer. It's kind of boring. It's something to do.
Playing is my way of thinking, talking, communicating.
If I score a goal on the road, I come home, and that's probably the first thing I'm doing, pullin' up the laptop and watching. Can't watch it in front of the teammates, or else I'll get made fun of.
I try to focus on what I can control, and that's just playing hard and playing well.
I have an inability after matches are over to sort of switch off and relax completely.
Every time I go into a tournament, I'm strictly on my own. I know I'm playing for my bread and butter.
I always try to have something that keeps my mind relaxed, keeps my mind a little bit off tennis.
I just play, that's all. When I'm in the field, I always connect with what I'm doing. I can't explain it. I can't control it. It just happens.
