I learned that I could definitely play at a really high level and I definitely belong at this level.

I know in the back of my head I have a Grand Slam win, which definitely takes a lot off of me, a big load off.

I was lucky; I got so many opportunities.

I think about all the kids that look up to me now... Things are possible if you go get it.

I'm very thankful for what I have. I don't want to let anyone down.

I've been on a tennis court all my life. The only thing that's been there longer is the net post.

It's not like everything was given to me. I had to really work hard for it and earn it.

It really shaped me as a person going to DeMatha. Anyone that plays athletics or does music or does whatever, it teaches them to work to the best of their abilities.

I've had signs I can play at the highest level.

To see my brother, see my friends, I think it builds character for me, just being accountable for myself.

I maximize every day.

I'm not perfect. But I hold myself to a high standard every day.

I'm going for the big moments - I want the big moments. I just tell myself, 'Remember the work you did, the things you went through. And keep going.'

It's all about competing.

Guys are so good. It's just about how badly you want it. I want it real bad.

Tennis needs some different personalities and a lot more emotions.

Look, I'm not saying you can't make it if you grew up from a wealthy situation. I mean, a ton of people have.

Obviously it's how bad do you really want to be successful, essentially. Like, what does that really mean to you? Why are you doing it?

I need to get a lot better.

Anybody plays a good match, you can beat anybody on a given day.

To get a former player that has been there and has that extra intel. Jose Higueras is a great coach for that and a great person as well.

Obviously, Jay Z definitely got my attention. I thought it was pretty cool that he wanted me on the team.

I'm really trying to understand my game.

I'm putting constant pressure on my opponents and really dictating play.
