In Boston, the year we won the championship, guys were so much different in age. You don't have the same lives off the court.
I think it is very important to have a life off the court, and to me, it wasn't that hard to balance tennis and a relationship.
It's the off-the-court spotlight in terms of having people look at you in terms of analyzing every little thing you do in your life, or having less privacy in your day-to-day activities, that's an area I need to get more accustomed to.
When I'm away from basketball, I hang out with my friends, chill, and that's about it.
The more happy you are off the court, the more you will get out of yourself on the court.
I just want to live my life the best way I can and enjoy the moment that I have off the court because you need to find a good balance. I think this is very important.
I know what I'm doing off the court. Everybody just sees pictures or videos of me, and if it looks out of shape, they just assume that I'm fat or I'm not working.
I have a very positive outlook on life. And not even tennis. Just even off-court, I would say everything that I'm doing daily, and I hope I continue to think like this and, you know, can enjoy each and every single day.
