I came across this piece from Peter Bodo regarding the late, great, Pancho Segura.  This quote from Segura stood out to me as a great outlook for anyone playing tennis at any level:

“It doesn’t take more than a racket and a heart to play this game,” he told ESPN in 2009. “It’s a great test of democracy in action. Me and you, man, in the arena. Just me and you, baby. Doesn’t matter how much you have, or who your dad is, or if you went to Harvard or Yale or whatever. Just me and you.”
