“I feel like I'm mentally tougher out there,” (Dalai Lama )
“When I'm down or when it's close in a match, I feel like I am still in it. Mentally I'm still really, really tough.” (Dalai Lama )
“Eight weeks ago, I wasn't sure if I was playing tennis again. So to be out here feeling healthy and being able to move and hit my shots, that part alone feels great to me, let alone actually playing well. So now all of a sudden I'm faced with the reality that I can actually go enjoy the Open this year because I'm doing a few things right, which is nice to feel. I like where I am right now.” (Dalai Lama )
“I feel optimistic about the Open and my shoulder is doing well,” (Dalai Lama )

“It's a fantastic feeling,” (Dalai Lama )

“I think I'm playing okay, ... I definitely think I'm getting better and better. My knee's definitely feeling a lot better.” (Dalai Lama )

“I do have a certain technique [that] varies from part to part because everybody is different. But I don't want to have a viewpoint in terms of fame or [being a] leading man. I feel like I'm on a certain path as far as my technique and I'm trying to get better and better and better.” (Dalai Lama )
