My parents paid me small amounts for cleaning my room or cleaning the dishes and stuff, but I never really had a real job before I started on my professional tennis career.

There's just nothing like playing on Arthur Ashe Stadium. It's truly amazing.

I actually had a small kangaroo - and I'm not kidding this time. I was holding a small kangaroo, baby kangaroo ... it was very nice to me this time. Do you know what it did afterward? I gave it some milk, and it just spit it all over me. I was like, Is this a thank-you for just being nice and petting the kangaroo? I got milk all over myself. I guess I deserved that from the story last year.

My mom was always the support. I can always go out to her and she'll always find the positive in things.

I'm thankful to be able to team up with a company like USANA that cares about my well-being and I know we can do great things together.

I just like being around people, especially nice people, and there are a lot of nice girls on tour.

I have nothing to lose and think that it's a positive thing that I am young and playing on a good level.
