I find a lot of inspiration in street style and watching women walk, the way they wear things and what they're wearing.

When you start from nothing, when you come from nothing, it makes you hungry. I am proud of where I came from and I know what I want. I want to win.

I always have a Sharpie, because usually when someone asks me for an autograph, they don't have a pen. I carry one in my purse, as well as in my tennis bag.

After being on the court for six hours, being on TV is very glamorous and fun for me. But tennis is always going to be my priority. It's not going to be this thing when all of a sudden TV will get in the way of that.

My parents had a normal life in Russia and they could have easily kept living a normal life, working and raising a child in Russia.

As someone who spends a lot of her time on the road, you have to look stylish but comfortable as I'm always in motion. Either traveling for my job, for pleasure, or managing the hectic pace of the modern day.

It'll be great. Of course I was disappointed last year. But . . I'll get my revenge.
