I started faster today which was good. I returned well but my serve was good, which was the key. I think I'm getting used to the conditions.

Anna Kournikova will always be better paid than Lindsay Davenport. The first left the circuit without having won a single title while the second was world number one.

The first time at age 5 and a half, when I took a racket in my hands and my father fed me some balls, I made 50 backhands in a row - didn't miss a single one.

I like to draw, produce paintings, do something with my fingers - but I am very normal, down-to-earth person.

My family are not sporty - they are all doctors or lawyers.

I am not blonde, yes. Have I dreamt about having a model contract? No. But have I dreamed about winning Wimbledon? Absolutely.

To cry on court during a Wimbledon final, you must feel so lonely.
