That's what really seems to be the more difficult aspect - to have the men break through and challenge the best players in the world.

As long as there's pasta and Chinese food in the world, I'm okay.

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.

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 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.

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.
