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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
