I always looked ahead.

I think team sports probably teach you more about giving - about being unselfish and being flexible.

My first U.S. Open I think was just very special for me because that was sort of the beginning of what was a 'Cinderella' story for me.

Ninety percent of my game is mental. It's my concentration that has gotten me this far. I won't even call a friend on the day of a match. I'm scared of disrupting my concentration. I don't allow any competition with tennis.

Competitive toughness is an acquired skill and not an inherited gift.

Don’t let a first-set victory lead into a second-set slump

I wanted always to appear strong and in control . . . .Then the cookie began to crumble.
