For me retiring wasn't hard once I knew that that was the decision I was going to make.

I want not, that everybody hears about. Then I can't longer be myself.

I carried through well with my tennis. I got the respect by usage of the tennis racket.

I played Mary Joe Fernandez in the semifinals. She was winning the first set. Second set was very close. I started to play this aggressive game. I think I surprised them.

When I got to match point in the final I was afraid I'd be a little nervous, but I just said, You have to stay focused, just think about what you have to do.

I was formerly so stuck into plans. I can now live more spontaneously. This I want not yet to give away.

When I lose a match, I know that I lose on the court and not in life.
