I feel fine now. I'm not feeling any pain. I should be all right to play. |
I'm very excited because I've never been to Australia before. |
I'm working on my mental toughness, because I get really upset sometimes. And that's what helped me the most in the tournament - I was really mentally tough and that really paid off. |
Most tennis players have a bomb for a forehand and are weak in their backhand, but I've always been the opposite. We've really started working on my forehand and it's starting to pay off. |
When I was little, I used to feel a lot of pressure. Before matches, I'd want to throw up. But now, I've adapted. I do get homesick sometimes, but I have to remember why I am there and what I have to do to go pro. |
When we got there, our luggage got lost and our hotel was bad. Everything was awful. When we finally got to our final hotel, it was like 2 in the morning. I said then, 'Even if I win this tournament, it's going to be the worst tournament ever.' It ended up being not so bad, though. |
