I feel like I have as good a shot as anybody out there and I have gotten close in the past, so why not have the attitude that I can come out and play great tennis and maybe even win this tournament.

You can work really hard, but if you're not training in the right way you're not going to improve and get to the level that you want to.

If you quit once, it's so much easier to quit the second, third, fourth time.

I think when you've played at the level that I've played, anything outside the top 10 in certain aspects is just a number, unless you're obviously trying to get into tournaments and stuff.

It's difficult sometimes when you have somebody who is of a different culture trying to make light of something that is maybe not quite something that they understand.

It has been a difficult road this year, but still I look at every day as a new opportunity.

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