I feel fine now. I'm not feeling any pain. I should be all right to play.

Most tennis players have a bomb for a forehand and are weak in their backhand, but I've always been the opposite. We've really started working on my forehand and it's starting to pay off.

I'm very excited because I've never been to Australia before.

When I was little, I used to feel a lot of pressure. Before matches, I'd want to throw up. But now, I've adapted. I do get homesick sometimes, but I have to remember why I am there and what I have to do to go pro.

I'm working on my mental toughness, because I get really upset sometimes. And that's what helped me the most in the tournament - I was really mentally tough and that really paid off.
