I think I could look back through the past few years at missed opportunities and stuff, but one thing I have learned is not to dwell on missed chances or times where you have failed.

I am actually nondenominational.

I realize that I'm in the twilight of my career.

I didn't have the ability to blow people off the court, so I needed my legs, my preparation and the ability to think on my feet.

I feel like I have as good a shot as anybody out there and I have gotten close in the past, so why not have the attitude that I can come out and play great tennis and maybe even win this tournament.

I was always really strict on myself about doing everything possible to prepare for competition.

In the tennis world, there weren't a whole lot of Asians playing. You see it a little bit more now. The same can really be said for basketball.
