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

Any tournament you go to, you want to win it.

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 like fast cars. And I like champions.

I've lived for 10 years in Switzerland, so I speak German.

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.

Right now I like baseball, hockey and tennis players. And horseback riders.
