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

He is still my father. He is still a person I know I could trust and he would never do anything against me. Once you're at the top, there are not many people like that. People always want something from you.

Before I was the hunter. Now I'm the hunted.

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

Playing (Serena) it always felt like playing a steamroller. No subtlety, no finesse, just raw, loud power. To respect this style of play was always a bit tough for me, but of course I had to, because the rules of tennis dont state that having a beautiful game is required to become No. 1.

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.

I did things I should not have done. But people make mistakes, especially at my age, when you feel you are so smart, but in fact you are an asshole.
