I'm sure all the players that are injured are going to be there.
aggressive errors gets hitting match means playing produce step sure winners
You have to try to make sure that you are one step ahead, ... That means I'll probably have to take some more risks. That's how you're going to produce errors from the other side, if you keep playing aggressive tennis. If you're going to let her get into the match by just hitting winners all the time, that's when she gets confident.

I'll have to make sure that I stand on the baseline and make sure that I keep hitting aggressively,
again body break core exercises feeling knee main next recover shoulder sure
I know how my body is feeling now and that, for me, is the main reason, ... For the next two years ... I'll just have to look after my body, make sure I have massages every day, do my knee exercises, my shoulder exercises and my core exercises. There's so much. I need to do all those things if I want to be able to play as well as I have been. That's why, after the U.S. Open, I'm going to have a long break ... just to make sure that everything is right again and that I recover well.
