I can play the No. 1 player in the world in a pretty close match.
I would put tiebreakers in the fifth set, no question about it.
It was probably when I had a game point at 3-1 in the first set and it was a really long point, and I did a passing shot after a huge rally. Maybe from then I was like, 'Okay, that's not normal.'
Being down match point, it's just not fun.
If you're playing the best of 19, and it's 7-7 and there's only five frames left, you tend to take a few more chances.
Tennis uses the language of life. Advantage, service, fault, break, love - the basic elements of tennis are those of everyday existence, because every match is a life in miniature.
Tennis is best of three sets, so even if I lose the first set, I still have a chance.
When you win in straight sets, where is the challenge?
It's not a break until you hold your serve.
