The only way to get back the confidence is to play and win matches. You can practise as much as you like, but you need confidence that comes from playing and winning matches.

Greg Rusedski

Definitely I feel with more matches, I'm the type of player I win a match or few matches, then I get confidence right away and then I play better and better.

Sofia Kenin

Confidence? Are you kidding me? I mean, please. Look, some players grow up and play like that. I remember losing junior matches. Just being down 5-2 in the third, and they all just start slapping shots.

Roger Federer

Being able to rely on the matches I've won - at first they surprised me - but I've slowly been able to build confidence.

Madison Keys

I think it's just a matter of matches and then confidence will come with matches.

Sofia Kenin

When you've won a lot of matches you know how to play the important moment - you have a great feeling on court, confidence. You know what you have to do, when to go for the shots or when to play solid. It's really clear in your head, and you trust in your hands.

David Goffin

I think confidence comes from doing something well, working at it hard, and you build it up. It's not something you're born with. You have to build the confidence as you go along.

Doris Kearns Goodwin

If you're going to play in all three formats, you can't play all the games. You probably play two Test matches, miss the last one and take some time off and maybe come back for the second ODI or second T20.

Jofra Archer

When you're No. 8 in the world, then you start losing some matches, I think it was the first time in my career my confidence went down, and from there it was a downward spiral.

Jack Sock

I have the confidence, I know how to play so I just have to build my game.

Cedi Osman

When you start hitting some shots, you build some confidence.

Jared Dudley

When I was a kid, my first dream was to play Test matches, and the second one was to play 100 Test matches because there are very few people who have played 100 Tests for India.

Virender Sehwag

You work throughout the week to be prepared for the matches you're called upon to play. If you train badly you go into the matches with doubts.

Willy Caballero

I build confidence when I practice a variety of shots - hitting it high or low, working the ball. A lot of golfers go to the range and just hit full shots. That doesn't build on-course confidence, because you won't always hit full shots out there. My confidence is built on knowing I can effectively work the ball in any circumstance.

JoAnne Carner

There comes a time when you have to put forth the action and actually see whether you're really just talking to promote yourself, just to sell yourself, or to build your confidence or build confidence around you... or are you the real deal?
