Players respect their opponents and the game, taking inspiration from pros like Federer and Nadal, who compete fiercely but remain humble. Teamwork means putting the team first, whether helping new players improve or stepping into different roles for the team’s benefit. Success is achieved through daily dedication, with every practice focused on improving both individually and as a team.
