Let me tell you a little bit about 2015.
Of the 29 tournaments I competed in this year, I lost 15 first rounds.
I got into an event as a lucky loser for the first time in my career, and I lost 0 and 0.
My ranking dropped from a career high 84 in February to 154 by August.
At one point, I had lost a career worst 6 matches in a row.
I lost to 11 lower ranked players.
I reached three finals, and I lost in all three.
I played for a World Team Tennis team, and I was replaced by a better player for the end of the season and playoffs.
I played a match where I led 6-1 5-3 40-0 serving, and I lost.
My end-of-the-year record was one win shy of .500 at 29:30. At one stage in my season, my record was 11:24.
I cried and swore I would quit tennis at least 20 times.
I worked with 4 different coaches and played with 2 different racquets.
I broke at least 8 of those racquets. Sorry, Wilson...
After the US Open, I returned to the challengers to rediscover some form, and I did regain confidence. I collected a lot of wins and some substantial points that will allow me to climb to a year end ranking of 109 or so.
This ranking will likely see me miss the Australian Open cut by just a few spots.
"Ever tried? Ever failed? No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better."
With absolutely no irony intended, I cannot wait to start my 2016 campaign. Onwards and upwards. #striveforgreatness #allworthit
