When doctors say, 'It's going to be very tough for you, maybe not to quit, but to reach that same level again,' that's very frustrating to hear. In a way, you hear it, and it sort of goes in and out because you don't want to keep thinking about the negative thoughts.
"I know that I'm going to have to work hard, keep working hard, and not because of this victory think, "I'm back." I don't think like that. I'll definitely work hard. Things are not going to be easy. I might lose first round next week. You never know."
I think it's a compliment but, you know, I've got a tough match ahead of me, ... I'm not really thinking too much about being the favorite because I know what I have to do out there to win my matches.
I wasn't really thinking about the score. I just tried to keep fighting and just kept running for each ball.
