I Always Knew I Had

When I Was 12 Years Old, I Was Just Horrible. My Parents Were Ashamed To Watch My Matches. I Would Play On A Court At The Local Club And They Would Watch From The Balcony. They Would Scream, 'be Quiet' To Me And I Would Scream Back, 'go And Have A Drink. Leave Me Alone.' Then We Would Drive Home In A Very Quiet Car. No One Speaking To Each Other.

I Hope So. God, I've Practiced So Much That I You Don't Want To Be Worse Five Years Later. I Feel I Have A Great Game Today. I Know How Hard It Is To Pull Off Those Great Shots, And I Know How Easy It Is To Miss, So I'm More Aware Of These Things. But I'm So Happy I'm At The Age I Am Right Now Because I Had Such A Great Run And I Know There's Still More Possible.

You Know, I Don't Only Play For The Record Books.

You Always Want To Win. That Is Why You Play Tennis, Because You Love The Sport And Try To Be The Best You Can At It.

I Am Very Blessed To Be Able To Play Tennis, The Sport That I Love And Very Grateful For The Opportunities To Play In The Finals Of Big Events, When The Season Starts You Are On The Roll Constantly And Obliged To Be Committed To Daily Routines On And Off The Court.
