You can’t measure success if you have never failed. My father has taught me that if you really do want to reach your goals, you can’t spend any time worrying about whether you’re going to win or lose. Focus only on getting better.
As long as I can focus on enjoying what I’m doing, having fun, I know I’ll play well.
I never look back, I look forward.
When you lose a couple of times, it makes you realize how difficult it is to win.
You can have a certain arrogance, and I think that’s fine, but what you should never lose is the respect for the others.
You can’t measure success if you have never failed.
You cannot compare your athletic achievement to the importance of children and giving them a safe environment in which to grow up and enjoy life.
My big dream was to work as a photographer for ‘National Geographic.’
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.
