I was always at peace because of the way my mom treated me.

I've always said I'm a good horse but I'm still an underdog.

One day you can be a kid, but another day you have to be like this is your job, you play tennis. You have to work for that.

I grew up on the tennis court with lots of other kids. There were like 40 kids all afternoon and I was one of the youngest ones, so I always had to chase everybody to keep up.

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

That's one of the reasons I moved to Florida. Of course, the main reason is the weather and the training. But there's more jealousy in Switzerland because it's so little and they don't have so many athletes.

The game overall has gotten so much better, stronger, more physical parts to the game.
