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.

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

I still have a belief and a faith that some great things are still going to happen in my career. If I didnt believe that, it makes no sense for me to be out there, and on top of that, I know this is a period of time that God wants me to persevere through.

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 was always really strict on myself about doing everything possible to prepare for competition.

I didn't have the ability to blow people off the court, so I needed my legs, my preparation and the ability to think on my feet.

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.
