”When you walk on court, both players have a chance of winning
I have tried to rewire my brain, so it does not matter whether I am the favourite or the underdog before a match.
I have one mental ritual before a match – listening to Beethoven sonata 14
If you put in the work, I am sure that some day you will reach your dream, and I hope I can be that kind of inspiration.”
