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.

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

Seeing the Olympics come to China made me want to get more involved.

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.

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

I actually became a Christian in my rookie year on tour when I was 16 years old.

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.
