A calm and peaceful mind, landing a joke, being the name right after “And the winner is…”
A fall day on the beach with Elliot and my dog, Luna, and the sea, sand, and sky.
Long walks with my husband. Being with my family. Making music, and writing when songs just fall together. And maybe a cannoli. Just one.
Warm chocolate cake, a gorgeous fire, and Idris Elba. Also, world peace.
Sometimes when I'm in the first round or second round, and I'm not playing well, I say, okay, just accept it. Don't get frustrated. Just accept and focus.
The word says it all. To be a friend means that they are always there, for the good or the bad.
I don’t think I have one in particular. I am pretty calm. Just some small things that I better not comment on :-).
Selfishness and no respect for the others.
These tics do bother me. Could I play a match without them? Yes, without some of them. I don't have to touch my nose or put my hair behind my ears before I serve. That's possible to stop. Not putting the bottles in front of my chair, I could go without that, too. But adjusting my underwear, that I could never get rid of. It's impossible.
If I don't do that with the bottles, then I sit down, I could be thinking of something else. If I do always the same things, it means that I am focused and I'm alert to think purely about tennis.
