I Was Labeled At A Young Age

Every Time, All The Time, I'm A Perfectionist. I Feel I Should Never Lose.

Losses Are Always A Relief. They Take A Burden Off Me, Make Me Feel More Normal. If I Win Several Tournaments In A Row I Get So Confident I'm In A Cloud. If I Lose I Go Back To The Dressing Room And I'm No Better Nor Worse Than Anyone Else. A Loss Gets Me Eager Again.

Single-mindedness. I Hate To Say It Because I Don't Think It's The Best Thing For Developing A Person, But The Single-mindedness - Just Concentrating In The One Area - That's What It Takes To Be A Champion.

When I Play, I'm Boiling Inside. I Just Try Not To Show It Because It's A Lack Of Composure, And If You Give In To Your Emotions After One Loss, You're Liable To Have Three Or Four In A Row.

Relationships Are Give-and-take, And When You're A Tennis Player, You're Certainly Not Giving. You Have To Be Self-absorbed. It Has To Be About You.
