A Quote by Greg Rusedski

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.
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.
Guys like Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal know how to win matches, they don't need to have as much confidence as other players.
I think it's just a matter of matches and then confidence will come with matches.
When you have to play a lot of tournaments and you get more experience and you get more confidence playing a lot of matches, and also you get mentally strong.
So I think, for me, playing matches - actually being in real matches - is the best way to get myself playing the best tennis.
Confidence, you have to build it when you play some matches.
I try to focus on more winning matches here and try to go forward rather than the ranking because is the first step, to win matches, getting far in tournament, and we see after.
The only way you can get confidence is by winning, and unfortunately, the only way you win is by being confident.
You get confidence with winning, but you win with confidence.
If you look at Arsenal today, I really enjoy watching them play - they play some really good football - but that is not enough to win football matches or to win competitions. But in our time, we were winning, and we had the strength to not play well but somehow manage to win the game 1-0.
If you win one or two matches at home on good wickets, on grassy wickets, you'll develop confidence automatically.
Older readers will remember there used to be matches on Christmas Day. I remember leaving the fireside and the presents to watch matches on the day as a boy but such matches were rare by the time I began playing.
Confidence is not lodged in people's brains, it comes from the support system that surrounds them. Let's not confuse confidence overall with just self-confidence. Self-confidence is only one part of confidence. People also need confidence in others - their colleagues and leaders - that they can count on them to do the right thing and not to let them down.
Playing main-draw matches helps, and playing in front of crowds and playing in big matches definitely helps, getting them all under your belt.
Those big matches, when you go through so much, are the best thing. Those matches are why you play tennis.
I'll take all my matches against WWE's best matches, I'll put it up against Ring of Honor's best matches, or whatever promotion you want, and I guarantee people will be more entertained with my matches than theirs.
