I just hated to lose.

I was fascinated by a compelling character embroiled in a controversial topic that told the story from a different point of view.

As tennis players, we work and we sacrifice many things. To lose, that's not a happy thing - I mean sure, I was disappointed. You have to come back strong. But to win the last point in a grand slam tournament, that's the most beautiful and most satisfying feeling you can get as a tennis player. It's worth it.

My greatest point is my persistence. I never give up in a match.

The ball is round, the game is long.

You have to find it. No one else can find it for you.

If you're afraid of losing, then you daren't win.
