Playing with Perspective: Overcoming Fear and Finding Strength on the Court

And even today, when I play against Venus, at times I do have a little fear, and I’m like, oh, what’s gonna happen? But then I do this. This little trick I do. In 10 years, it’s not gonna really matter. No one’s gonna remember this match. No one’s gonna really think about it. And if so, they’re definitely not gonna be angry over it. So I always think, okay, 10 years from now, what are they gonna be thinking about this match then? That relaxes me and helps me. It’ll play against anyone, whether we’re really good friends or whether I’m related to them.
