Relationships are give-and-take, and when you're a tennis player, you're certainly not giving. You have to be self-absorbed. It has to be about you.

Whatever your goal in life, be proud of every day that you are able to work in that direction.

Find something that you're really interested in doing in your life. Pursue it, set goals, and commit yourself to excellence. Do the best you can.

I was labeled at a young age - Miss Unemotional, Miss Cool, and that would carry over to my press conferences.

I'm not an overly ambitious person; I don't feel like I have to excel.

Every time, all the time, I'm a perfectionist. I feel I should never lose.

You're always striving to play that perfect match.
