Kyle Edmund

In practice, there is no consequence. If you miss a ball, you just pick up another ball and serve again, or you come back the next day and play. In the matches, every point has got a consequence. If you lose, you don't come back the next day and play.

I'd be walking off the court thinking I didn't put everything out there, which was the last thing I wanted, so I just went out there and focused on my game, and it worked out great. It's nice to know I can play at that level, but to do it week in, week out is a different challenge, and I want to be able to do that.

My phone is key. This is because I like listening to music, and often, not travelling with it would be a killer. I also love my bed, but unfortunately I can't travel with it, but if I could I would.

My training has always been a priority; whatever needs to be done will get done first before anything else. Social life will come after that. I still love being around friends and family, but with all the travelling overseas, it makes it very tough to fit in.

Training is very tough. I probably hurt and get out of breath more in training because in matches, you can hit an ace, then have 25 seconds off. In training, you're doing drills constantly.

When I was around the ages of 9, 10, and 11, I loved watching Marat Safin because I found his game exciting. Since he retired, I would say that my idol has been Andy Murray.
