Agassi added that there is a need to be self aware and find our own forms of distractions. 'As you get closer to the top, the expectations are a lot. You don't realise the amount of pressure not just from outside, but even from the perfectionist that is within you. Once you walk away, you're far from having that equilibrium,' Graf said.
