Being black only helps them. Many times they get sponsors because they are black. And they have had a lot of advantages because they can always say, 'It's racism.' They can always come back and say, 'Because we are this color, things happen.'

I always give Lindsay so much credit for her tennis game, for her attitude, for her person, and because of how she deals with all the things. I don't think people give her enough credit for how well she's doing.

The older you get, the more you learn.

And the '99 finals at the French - if I had won that one easily, no one would have talked about it.

I didn't have the same fitness or ability as the other girls, so I had to beat them with my mind.

I'm sure she wants revenge. I'll just try not to let that happen.

I still think I have the speed and the variations also to win the matches, but its very good competition and also a great challenge for me too.
