I mean, I feel like just a new person completely.

She [Serena Williams] played some great shots, but so did I, and that was the only difference.

People want to hear what I have to say and respect what I say.

Coming back after the layoff, I wasn't really sure what to expect.

You have to block everything out and be extremely focused and be relaxed and mellow too.

I had an instinct before and maybe now I don't have that instinct as much as knowing what to do, what shots to hit, where to place the ball, things like that.

I just want to get to the level where I can say that that's my level, just try to play well, get up there.
