In tennis, you can have a bad set and still win. The part of track cycling that is difficult to find in other sports is that it's so final; there's no second chance if you make a mistake.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Tennis is best of three sets, so even if I lose the first set, I still have a chance.
In tennis, you can make a couple of mistakes and still win. Not in golf. I played three rounds in that Tahoe event, and I was drained. Mentally, not physically.
The first rounds of a tournament are always tricky because playing tennis takes a lot out of you.
I think the tennis is only a game. You can lose. You can win. After that? In life, there are much more important things than tennis.
Sometimes you're looking to play perfect tennis but it's not going to happen all the time and you have to accept it.
With tennis, you can go pick up a racket, take a lesson, and understand how much talent and skill it takes to be as good as the top pros. Same with golf: pick up a club. But not many can go out and get in a race car and experience a drive at over 200 miles an hour.
What I want out of tennis is not necessarily just winning.
Tennis is so competitive. I guess that's the way it has to be.
Tennis is like, it gives you a lot of chances, but if you don't take those chances, it takes a lot of chances away from you. It's just the scoring pattern. We cannot dwell over a loss or a win for very long. We have no time to celebrate; we have no time to dwell; we have to move on. Wake up the next day and try and win the match.
Tennis is a mental game. Everyone is fit, everyone hits great forehands and backhands.
