I've been motivated by overcoming challenge and overcoming the hurdles and obstacles that face me. There still is plenty out there to get motivated by.

Hitting the ball has never been my issue, so I can literally not pick up a racquet for two months and hit the ball, really, really nicely. I mean movement's always an issue.

Tennis is a very objective sport in the sense that the scoreboard doesn't lie.

Tennis was always sort of a - a learning. It was a vehicle for me to discover a lot about myself.

People who are interested with me have for sure gotten older over the years, for example, grandparents are coming up to me telling me they grew up watching me.

I can live with losing, I can't live without taking my chance.

I play tennis for a living even though I hate tennis, hate it with a dark and secret passion and always have.
