Chapters

You were mentally. When you go on court every day and you don't complain when you play bad, when you have problems, when you have pains, you put the right attitude, the right face. You were not negative about all the issues that happened. If I'm playing bad, if I have physical problems, you go on court every day with the passion to keep practicing. That's. That's the mental work. That's something that I did during all my career. Not being frustrating when things are not going well, not being too negative.
And that's why I was able to always have the chance to be back.
