- Transcript
fb that's because barack obama's birth it actually has a lot of difference because it had a lot of ground a concert and experience them coming from the public are that i did have a program that i did i caught out relatively that's due to the fact that i was playing with a lot of guys majority of the time basically has a lot to do with the person's not very strong enough to hold
on one handed backhand it a lot of times coming up in the i guess basically went in a consequence ever were dominating the two men back in once more to be brought out for younger players and our program basically a lot of misuse one and back ends now i'm really getting to myself that this is going on hamas and realize they must feed has a lot to do it the way i basically guiding erich and the people that have it means both really satisfy with anything that i do because i feel like if you want to be a champion can ever dissatisfied in things and hugh laurie accomplice i feel like there's a lot more things that compass and professional tennis said really being a person so i keep trying to learn from others and
understand things that are going on it's big i think there's a lot to do with self motivation being i mean a lot of the cuts by selling wine understanding that prize perspectives into things that you wanted to wanted to understand yourself as a lot of the
players blanked that's where i met my current style of the cemetery a park in houston texas and i'm i've been with him now for about eleven and a half years i think through stories on this fire setting on the park bench or the great fire and my cuts have now john watson was there and he basically asked me what was until i am at the town was unwilling to anything and i'm coming from a majority of black people in my neighborhood i really deny a thing about tennis sound and that's done there and we put a message that was still a sense that he's very much like the father that i really didn't have at a young age because the father dollars about ten months now
we're having now and we have a little difficulties here in as father lee says it was but we pretty much understand each other know it's far fb is beyond is bleak that's i think it's very odd it's a lot higher than people realize it because you have to do with a lot of stress and you also have to deal with iran maybe being in the public's eye and doing the right thing sometimes you'd give up a little more then you really want to but i think thats all in the meaning of being a champion it might one of a kind i think basically i just
signed a deal to myself finally china deal with on individual personalities on the court of the way they play because i feel like if i have a lot of confidence in myself thinking two things that i'm capable of filling then the chances of me a winner a lot greater that we warn about the person's weaknesses of the time but i think basically armed people inside a young age they're not really strong enough to maybe hold one in back can't so they get caught in the element of using it to me and back again as in my case that's pretty much the same pie then the weight that i am now so on one hand back and was i was pretty strong enough to do it and also mike coats use the one hand back in so that was basically all
the tennis that are really scientist through hands free for all three questions i was
