Transcript

Today, I am playing a practice match with one of my friends. I will go out and I will play freely. There is no pressure to perform. I am just having fun with one of my friends, and he is not the type of person to brag about winning to other people. I will enjoy the match and make it fun, so he enjoys it as well. This does not make or break my tennis career, and I am going to control my emotions to stay positive.
