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

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.

I'm not getting within 20 feet of a married man ever again - not even talking to one!

If you can react the same way to winning and losing, that's a big accomplishment. That quality is important because it stays with you the rest of your life, and there's going to be a life after tennis that's a lot longer than your tennis life.

You're always striving to play that perfect match.

Of all my achievements in tennis, I'm probably as proud of my record on clay courts as any of my Wimbledon, U.S. Open or French singles titles.

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