“I always find an extra motivation, an extra reason to play well against the top guys. You have been watching them on TV. You have always wanted to be part of that. So for you, when you step out on the court, it’s a visual. When you see something that you have been dreaming of, I think there is always a spark, kind of an extra reason to play. I don’t know if it’s so much psychological or mental. It’s kind of like when you’re in survival mode. You’re more alert. You’re more ready for things.”
