What do you think of your season thus far?

We’ve had some easy matches and we’ve had some tough matches. It’s just all about getting in the groove a bit. You’ve got to be practicing day-in and day-out if you want to be really good.

Who’s your favorite tennis player?

Novak Djokovic!

What’s your biggest strength on the tennis court?

My strength is a little bit of power, on the serve and on the forehand.

What’s an area of your game that you’re trying to improve on?

I’d say the mental side.

Who’s your favorite NFL team?

I’m a Bay fan. I like the Packers and I like the Buccaneers. My family likes the Packers. Bucs because I live in Florida.

Do you have a favorite movie?

Let’s go with The Godfather, part one.

What’s your Subway order?

I’ll stack that thing with roast beef, turkey and probably the most protein you can get out of that.

What’s your favorite TV show?

Breaking Bad was a really good one.

If you were trapped on a deserted island and you could only bring three things, what would they be?

I’d bring a TV to watch football, I’d bring a racket and I’d bring a tennis ball.

What’s the one place you would go to that you’ve never been before?

Patagonia, it’s on the southern part of Chile. The mountains look pretty good for snowboarding.

What do you like to do for fun?

I hang out with my friends a lot. Obviously I love to play tennis, so I’m out on the courts, if I can every day of the week. I’ll be working out, training and spending time with family.
