I really try not to read the tennis articles, because a lot of times they're guessing at how a player is feeling, and I like to keep myself kind of open minded about how I'm feeling, rather than have someone else explain to me what's going on.

Getting to number one in the world without a coach is highly unlikely.

The airplane has had a big impact on my life.

Tennis is more than just shots. It's about being clutch and beating the people on the other side of the net.

I will do everything in my power to make sure people are aware that our team is out there fighting the good fight for the tennis fans of the United States.

When I turned professional, what I was really aiming for was to be in the top 100, try to hold the top 100 for ten years, and just be in the show, and have a nice career. It's more than I could have ever hoped for. I worked awfully hard for it, but there are other people who worked just as hard and didn't get the breaks. I recognized that I've been lucky and being able to live this life that I wanted since a young age. I really went after it with everything that I have and somehow it worked out.
