I lost in the second round of the French Open and had 10 days off. I went to the Hard Rock Cafe. It was exciting to be away from my parents, to stay in a hotel. Hotels at 17 meant freedom.

Between a rock and a hard place

Rock Hard.

I like hard rock, and classic rock, and even metal.

I have had success throughout the years. Some of the hard rock bands today don't have the history that I have.

Those were two hard losses. Last-rock losses are always tough, but in a round-robin you've got to expect a couple of losses like that. You just have to find a way to bounce back. Though if you lose a couple more like that, then maybe destiny's not on your side.
