To be honest, everything in my life outside of tennis is great. I'm doing amazing projects that, if I didn't have time off, I wouldn't be able to focus on.

I know you are reporters and I know this is your job, but, you know, take your note pads, take your pencils down, take your grunt-o-meters down, the fashion police, put everything away and just watch the match, you know, from just the fans' perspective. I seriously think that the quality of the match today was great.

My family and I built my whole career from scratch.

I'd love to open a tennis school for children in my hometown of Sochi.

Since I'm constantly in the sun, I use sunscreen daily.

A great tennis career is something that a 15-year-old normally doesn't have. I hope my example helps other teens believe they can accomplish things they never thought possible.

If I loved a guy as much as I love my dog, the guy would be in serious trouble because I'm all over that dog, all of the time.
