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

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.

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 don't think it's a low point being in the finals of the French Open, three points away from the victory.

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.

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