You want to become a master at overcoming hard moments. That, to me, is the sign of a champion.

Tennis is a mental game. Everyone is fit, everyone hits great forehands and backhands.

~Novak Djokovic

The only way of finding a solution is to fight back, to move, to run, and to control that pressure.
