I could never have gotten back into my career without the undying support of my husband, who works full time at a stressful job! We decided that we were going to do this as total partners and it is a 50/50 deal with us.

You work your whole life to try to be the best you can, even if it's for only one day or one week.

In the history of women's tennis the great players have come back from long absences with no problems.

I come from a family of working women, my mum went to work two weeks after I was born - my parents had no money, there was no choice.

I don't enjoy being in Europe for weeks on end, so I just skip it.

I think I'm pretty down to earth.

I did everything I could except win. I feel fine. I just played bad at a big time.
