You want this.
You do not want to lose.
Not this time.
The problem is in the last three slams was that you didn't want them enough and therefore you didn't bring it.
But this one you want.
You need to let your opponent and everyone else in this joint know that you want it.

Win this point, or I'll never let you hear the end of it, Andre.
Don't hope he double faults.
Don't hope he misses.
You control what you can control.
