When the matches get tougher and you're pushed more, automatically, the level of your game increases.

I think I learn a lot from losses and they make me a lot tougher,

I've been playing against older and stronger competition my whole life. It has made me a better tennis player and able to play against this kind of level despite their strength and experience.

It's tougher when you're established. Before, I'd see 13, 14, 15 pitches that I could drive in a game. Now, I see one, two or three, so I have to be better.

Hockey is a very team-oriented team game, and even at times when there's individual brilliance, it's tougher in our sport than baseball and certainly than basketball for one guy to control the game. What he does I equate to Kobe Bryant or M.J. as one of the few athletes to play at that level.

I could add variation to my game, but I'm going to win matches only when I hit those winners. I enjoy hitting the ball as hard as I can. I enjoy taking risks. And I believe you always have to take risks.
