The fifth set is not about tennis, it’s about nerves

So this is it. Match point for eternity.

Tennis is a psychological sport, you have to keep a clear head. That is why I stopped playing.

That's the hard part about sport: as men we haven't started to be in our prime, but as athletes we are old people. I needed support. I lost trust and did stupid things.

The boys are so powerful off of the baseline now that they don't have to come to the net to finish points. That's the reason we went to the net. To finish the point. Nowadays, even the big guys can hit winners four feet behind the baseline.
