"I made the finals of the French Open, and it felt like I had a bad tournament. Immediately after, I was like, ‘That tournament was bad.’ Because you get so close to your goal, it just makes it feel even worse when it doesn’t happen."
"I think it’s just finding the balance — it’s still something that I struggle with, trying not to base all my success on the Grand Slams. But, you know, when those are your biggest goals, it’s hard not to. Thinking about the way I’m playing is going to do better for me in the long run than thinking about whether I lose or win."
"I don’t even know when my prime would be. Based on everyone else right now, 23 or 24 is when I would start to feel really good. Maturity-wise, there’s a lot I can learn. I’m still confused about how the tour is run, especially the business side of it when it comes to prize money and accommodations and press."
"There are definitely certain areas I just learn about by hearing other players talking, and I’m like, ‘I didn’t even think about that perspective.’ … Compared to the majority of the tour, I’m just beginning in a way."
