“It's something to be proud of... I'm a proud New South Welshman.”

“It's all about mentally staying in the moment and not losing concentration and trying to back up every day.”

“And, honestly, tennis is such a tough sport as it is, it's only you on court, so you've got to deal with a lot of different pressures and expectations and when things aren't going well.”

“Every time I step out on court, I leave 150 per cent out there. That's the bare minimum.”

“My long-term goal is to get as high as possible in the rankings, and to improve my game each day. If I am able to do that, my ranking should get better and better.”

“Everyone is their own person. I just worry about myself and surround myself with good people who keep me grounded and focused on what matters.”
