Maybe if I was British, a semi-final would be incredible. I'd be on the front page of the paper.

Ever since I was young I loved making things and being part of the design process.

I was very disappointed (at the U.S. Open), and I went out there and I worked really hard.

I think when you know what you are going to wear, it fits and it's great material, then you feel confident in it.

It's always tough when you lose - you've worked so hard for that moment and it hasn't gone the way you wanted. But you have to realise there's always a bright side, you have to pick yourself up and get ready for the next game.

I never really had an idol.

I don't follow other players or the tournaments they play. I have my own schedule and do my own thing. I never really think, 'Oh, I want to be or play like so-and-so.' I just like being myself.
