The will
to win

I am very shy and quiet, but once on the court, the shyness
disappears. I play to win. I always have. Tennis was never just a game
to me, even when I was a child. At that time, I cried when I lose a
game. I soon learned that crying didn't help.
When I was 13, I made up my mind to go to a tennis academy in
Florida. I practiced over eight hours a day. I played against older,
Stronger, bigger and better players. I lost a lot of games. I hated to
lose. The more games I lost, the more strongly I wanted to win the
next game. My will to win pushed me to victory.

about a year. I was homesick with no one to talk to. That didn't stop

became intense.
After I won a tournament for the first time,
I fell into a slump, got injured, and was not at my best. At that time.
my mother reminded me of a note I wrote in elementary school, "Luck can
come only when you go through herdship". Then I realized all these hardship
were gifts.
After that my attitude and outlook changed. When I got lucky breaks in
games, I was named "Newcomer of the Year" by the Association of
Temis Professionals.
