I'm glad you're doing this story on us and not on the WNBA. We're so much prettier than all the other women in sports.

I think the whole boycott thing was a bit too much. It's because we're accomplished so much in women's tennis in the last two, three years. We deserve something better.

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 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 went through very emotional things this year, like being in the French Open finals already feeling like you got it and kind of losing it.

I feel a quarter Indian.

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.
