There was a time in my mid-20s where I was burned out.

I was tired of tennis.

And maybe in hindsight today, I would say at 25, take a break.

Take a year off.

See what you want to do.

If you're still willing to pay the price to be the best tennis player you can be.

You know, smell the roses a little bit.

So I didn't do that.

I kept on and I had contracts.

There was responsibilities and so forth.

So I played that up until I was 32.

Maybe I would have played longer if I would have taken a break at 25.

You lose control over your life and everything is decided for you.

You know, some people have good interests, of course they do.

But you no longer can go, okay, I'm tired for tomorrow's practice.

You have to give a press conference because you're not having the practice tomorrow.

Because the tournament sold the practice seats.

People are watching your practice.

Or when you don't want to play a tournament, you get a fine.

Then you have to explain to the world, my shoulder hurts.
