“If I feel that sharp pain on the court, it's impossible to play. That's what happened in Paris. I couldn't do anything. But normally the pain I live with is just during the cool down, the recovery. I don't mind a little pain in the evening after a hard day's work, to be quite honest, as long as I can go back out there the next day and be fully ready to go.”
“Some moments it feels longer, other moments it feels like it's flown by; you can't believe you've done it all that time, ... Overall, you have a strong sense for the full spectrum that you've sort of traveled.”
“Sometimes it's just harder to remind yourself about what you're doing and why you're doing it, ... Other times, you have a great desire for it, but physically you're not responding the way you want. That presents other challenges. Then sometimes it all comes together.”
