I think it's so cool to be tall. Even when I'm not wearing heels people tell me I'm tall and I always take it as a complement. The good thing is I can always see everybody in the room.

I have always had an interest in fashion and design and I appreciate style and timelessness within my footwear and accessories both on and off the court

Tennis has never been the most important thing in my life. My family, my health, my happiness...they are more important to me. On court, I want to win. Off court, I want to be a better person. Tennis is a path to my future.

There are so many roads you can take that will lead you the wrong way, that nobody will hear your name.

Sometimes I feel my arm is like a swan's neck - so weak.

You control your own wins and losses.
