I think it is very important to have a life off the court, and to me, it wasn't that hard to balance tennis and a relationship.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Yeah, I think there are many other important things in life, not just tennis.
Is only a tennis match. At the end, that's life. There is much more important things.
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.
Tennis is all about mental toughness, and you have to keep your head in the game. I make time to relax away from competition pressures, travel and intense training schedules to make sure I'm looking after myself. Taking time out with family and friends helps to maintain the work-life balance everyone needs.
If you can react the same way to winning and losing, that's a big accomplishment. That quality is important because it stays with you the rest of your life, and there's going to be a life after tennis that's a lot longer than your tennis life.
Tennis has given me this wonderful life and I'm very grateful for it.
Tennis was never work for me, tennis was fun. And the tougher the battle and the longer the match, the more fun I had.
To stay interested in tennis, I have to mix it up with other things.
Tennis doesn't owe me anything. Tennis is one of the fairest sports. It's given me so many extraordinary feelings.
There is this brutal side to tennis. It was invented as a game for kings and cardinals and people with a lot of power who didn't have to share the field with other players.
