Athletes have a certain stubbornness that carries us through and makes us do things that people say we can't do.

Well, there's no monkey on my back.

I am happy to have played a match and break the rhythm of daily training.

When I was younger I used to be devastated if I would lose.

People get so stressed and nervous and mad.

All my time in rehab has made me appreciate tennis more than ever.

I've worked really hard, but it's definitely not been easy.
