“I feel like it will happen eventually. I know that I can compete at a high level, it is just a matter of doing it. There are some moments when I wonder if I’m doing the right thing because I see other people, in my opinion, not doing the right thing and it somehow works for them. They’re doing dumb things and they still are successful. I don’t ever think that I’m wasting my time, I’ll just wonderwhy it’s working for them and not me. Then I start thinking like when will it happen for me. At some point you put in enough work and do the right things somethings gotta give, right? To be at the highest level of the sport you don’t have the people that mess around, but to play at a level below that, where you are making plenty of money, there are definitely a few guys that are just idiots. They seem to be able to turn it on and off. For them, there seems to be no thought of how much effort they put into practice, they just go out there and hit the ball during the match. Maybe it’s just talent. My game doesn’t fully revolve around talent. But that’s the most frustrating thing, seeing the guys that have all the talent and don’t do s**t, and I feel like they get rewarded for it. Tennis gods don’t exist.” Mitchell Krueger
