He is strong in the head. You can't win a junior Grand Slam and knock out the world's No. 25 player in your first senior tournament if you're not strong in the head.
This is the biggest achievement this team has had in its history, so for sure we want to go even further,
I played on the Champions Tour all year, I qualified for the Masters and I would have loved to have played at the Royal Albert Hall because I heard that it has an unbelievable atmosphere and I think I had a real chance to win it,
My fines? I pay more fines than some guys' career prize money on the tour.
When I started in my career, my sister was very sick so I play for her because we didn't have money.
It's fun to be there with the guys, to practice with them, arrange the balls, do this, do that, but when you play you can get some of this nervousness out of your system.
