Going to UCLA was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made.
For me specifically, I think college benefited me. Just getting me out of doing, getting me out of what I was doing before. I was just doing the same thing, you know, every day, same schedule, just practicing, training, things like that.
During COVID, I was still training, working on my fitness and my tennis. I was able to practice and play near where I live in Orlando.
I think there is always room for improvement, and every day is a chance to get better.
I would say playing doubles is great for, you know, just in general. For the singles game, as well. You're able to work on returns, serves, aggressive playing. Also able to practice pressure situations.
I haven't always made all of the right decisions from a career perspective, but things worked out in the end.
I can make my own decisions, I can do the music I like. If I fail, it's me failing - you know.
I have four boys - two of them are 18 - and I have to protect them sometimes from themselves because they're not emotionally mature enough to always make great decisions.
Our job is not to predict the future. Rather, it's to suggest all the possible futures - so that society can make informed decisions about where we want to go.
You've got to do what's right, or what you think is right. And you've got to make tough decisions. And you've got to be willing to take on your friends when you disagree with them.
