I used to get nervous, you know if my parents would come watch. And then I would get nervous if my friends came and watched. Today it's not a problem anymore actually, because now I enjoy it. I see that they, you know, respect me immensely, and I try to put on a good show and show that I can still play very good tennis. ↗

I have always been guided by striving to show the best that I could. That is what kept me going in tennis and it is the same now. ↗
