long relax firsts
It's difficult to relax on tournaments, even in posh hotels, because you don't know how long you will be there - whether you'll lose a match on the first day and leave or whether you'll stay for longer.
couple mean space
I had to pay an incredible amount to get insured on it and, after a couple of weeks of driving it around, I realised it wasn't quite my style. I'm not flash by any means but a bright red Ferrari is a definite head-turner and I hated that. It was also incredibly impractical, particularly when it came to finding space for a friend or for my tennis bag, so I decided to sell it after a few months.
cutting play hair
When I'm frustrated that I'm not doing well in a tournament I cut my own hair, just lop it all off. I've probably made a right mess of it, but luckily I wear a cap when I play.
england
I'll be supporting anyone but England.
hard-work player tennis
For me the most important thing has always been tennis, and that's what I want to get across the image I want to portray is a hard-working tennis player.
prayer fall feet
When we pray for the Spirit's help ... we will simply fall down at the Lord's feet in our weakness. There we will find the victory and power that comes from His love.
prayer father new-day
While others still slept, He went away to pray and to renew His strength in communion with His Father. He had need of this, otherwise He would not have been ready for the new day. The holy work of delivering souls demands constant renewal through fellowship with God.
prayer mean abiding
Abiding fully means praying much.
prayer thinking unexpected
Beware in your prayers, above everything else, of limiting God, not only by unbelief, but by fancying that you know what He can do. Expect unexpected things above all that we ask or think.
christian prayer hearing
Faith in a prayer-hearing God will make a prayer-loving Christian.
christian prayer men
The man who mobilizes the Christian church to pray will make the greatest contribution to world evangelization in history.
prayer wish doe
Learn to worship God as the God who does wonders, who wishes to prove in you that He can do something supernatural and divine.
prayer voice secret
Prayer is not monologue, but dialogue; God's voice is its most essential part. Listening to God's voice is the secret of the assurance that He will listen to mine.
encouragement nice long
It's always nice to get good feedback, and a bit of encouragement can go a long way.
