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.

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

Sometimes you want to make your own experiences.

I am number one in the world, so I have the right to be arrogant

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

When I was 4 my mother got divorced and we were very close to each other. I always wanted to be with her. She took me everywhere. When she went for dinner with friends or when they had meetings at the tennis club, I was always there.

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