Most players who play tennis love the game. But I think you also have to respect it. You want to do everything you can in your power to do your best.

My aggression out there is my weapon. I think it's more letting them know that I'm not going to let them get away with something, and I'm not just going to kind of poke it back and be content to stay in rallies.
