If everything was going smoothly you would never build character.

I want to be different. If everyone is wearing black, I want to be wearing red.

Tennis has never been the most important thing in my life. My family, my health, my happiness...they are more important to me. On court, I want to win. Off court, I want to be a better person. Tennis is a path to my future.

When you're going through tough moments, you never know when you're going to have good moments.

When I'm down or maybe when it's close in the match, I feel like I'm still in it. I don't feel like I'm letting down. Mentally, I'm still really, really tough.

To be honest, everything in my life outside of tennis is great. I'm doing amazing projects that, if I didn't have time off, I wouldn't be able to focus on.

I learned there's a big difference between juniors and the pros.
