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

I find this accusation so horrendous, so monstrous, that I have decided to confront it head-on by talking to the press. I am frustrated and angry. I believe that I am absolutely, 100 per cent innocent. I assure you: I have never taken drugs.

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.

Sometimes you want to make your own experiences.

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

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