How much we have to hydrate out here in this kind of heat and humidity. I think the most I have ever taken down in one day of fluids is five gallons – a gallon per match. If we didn’t replace our fluids, we would probably keel over and die.

I couldn’t be messing around and acting like an 11-year-old if we expected to compete well. I wanted to compete well, because it was great to see the looks in the eyes of menlike, “Wow, I am having a hard time beating this kid.”

I don’t have to get myself pumped up or calm myself down. As we get into the later rounds of a tournament and there is more at stake, I have even more adrenaline. If we make the finals, it’s just an extra opportunity to win a tournament at my age. That doesn’t come along that often.

Superstitions

I had four different colors of hats, one of which was pink. I just got on a roll with the pink hat. So what started out as a superstition grew into a tradition and an easy way for my family to find me at tournaments because I am the only one with cojones big enough to wear a pink hat.

I have adrenaline going and then focus on what I have to do and do it well. I know we’ll have a good chance to win the match that way. I don’t concern myself with the other team.

I just think about what I am doing on my side of the net, which requires focus. Even after all the years I’ve been playing, I still get butterflies before each match.

I never did. I only prepared to win the next day.
