World #5 Camille Serme on managing stress, having fun, and staying humble

“I don’t think there was ever one particular moment when I thought I want this to be my profession, I just loved playing.”

-

“I remember when I started having good results as a kid, two of my friends started to say I was a bit arrogant and gave me a hard time, and I think that just stayed in my mind.”

-

“If you keep on working hard and believing that you can actually achieve something, even though you were not the best in juniors, you can still achieve as a senior.”

-

“A few months ago, we tried to change my game a little and I went too far and lost my personality on court.”

-

“Everyone is working hard; not in the same way, but hard. So when you get on there it’s the mind that makes all the difference.”

-

“I would always say to have fun, because at the end of the day it’s still a game. You started playing squash because you were having fun.”
