You don't have to be the best in the world every time you go out there.

You just have to be better than one guy.

Instead of you succeeding, make him fail.

Better yet, let him fail.

By trying for a perfect shot with every ball, you're stacking the odds against yourself.

You don't need to assume so much risk.

Fuck that.

Just keep the ball moving, back and forth, nice and easy, solid.

Be like gravity, man.

Just like motherfucking gravity.

When you chase perfection, when you make perfection the ultimate goal, do you know what you're doing?

You're chasing something that doesn't exist.

You're making yourself miserable.

Perfection, there's about five times a year when you wake up perfect, when you can't lose to anybody.

But it's not those five times a year that make a tennis player, or a human being for that matter.

It's the other times.

It's all about your head, man.

With your talent, if you're 50% game-wise, but 95% head-wise, you're going to win.

But if you're 95% game-wise and 50% head-wise, you're going to lose, lose, lose.

Put it this way.
