There is always a dream, for me, in the locker room before matches as well during the day. If you have a strong mind, a strong tendency to keep you strong, I think your dream is coming. ”

We all know how to play tennis. We all know how to hit the ball. It's more just about those details - managing all those early rounds and just managing yourself to make sure you're ready for whatever is coming up next. ”

The negative talk, everything that has been coming my way, I don't care about it. ”

I never thought I was going to make a career out of tennis, to be honest, until I was 10 or 11 years old. One of my earliest memories is when I was seven, and I was competing against players that were three, four years older than me. I didn't take it too seriously at the time. I was having a lot of fun. ”

I think mental preparation is really important. Every day, you've got to imagine your goal. ”

I've always felt that's something I'm capable of doing - setting up a trend. ”

My father loved the single-handed backhand, so to him, that was the main goal; we were always fascinated by that shot. He taught me all the technique and how to structure my game. I was really privileged to have a father like that. ”

I'm just going to have to keep working on what I have to and keep chasing my goals. ”

With the right set of mind, with the right people, with the right support, things happen. ”

I have so many different interests in so many areas that sometimes I just need to chill, step back, and let it be. ”
