Transcript

Today, I am playing a match. It is very cold today, and by the time I am playing it will be windy as well. I will get there early today and do a good warmup so that I am not stiff. I will make sure not to think too much about how it is uncomfortable to play in these conditions. My opponent has to deal with all of the same things, so I will let him be the one to get frustrated. I will stay positive and confident and I will have fun while I'm on court.
