I got comments about being too small, too short, there haven't been any Asian players and who am I to go out there and turn pro before my 16th birthday? And that's all good and fine. People want to have their comments and their opinions. Ultimately, you do what you believe in your heart. I think for me, things turned out OK.

Maybe sometimes I'm such a thinker, I reevaluate too much. Sometimes when it comes down to it, I really don't need to do anything, I don't really need to change anything. I need to just keep plugging away, working at it.

I realize that I'm in the twilight of my career.

For me, I think the Lord wanted me to win to put a smile on Chinese people's faces.

You know, I feel like if I don't change something, then the results maybe are going to continue the way that they have. That for me is not something that I want to really be a part of.

I look at tennis as a bit of a platform to hopefully touch lives and encourage people.

All of the Spaniards are really talented. I don't know what they eat.
