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

I'm a competitive person and it is in my nature to try hard in every match I play. The only time I'm not competitive is when I'm playing against my mom.

I think the French Open, in many ways, brought out a certain characteristic in me and in my game that was already there. Just the circumstances allowed for it to be able to show.

I have lost a little bit of flexibility, but the doctors say with any kind of torn ligament it is not uncommon for the injury to take 16 months to be 100 percent healed.

It's like one of those dreams you have when someone is chasing you. You're running as fast as you can, and someone's trotting behind you, just out of range, trying to grab onto you.

For me, at the French Open, if I wasn't playing my match I was glued to CNN watching the events unfold.

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