I have been through two wars in my 24 years, and I know what it's like to be without anything, to see the bombs flying above your head.

My father never talked about the sacrifices that the family made for me.

You can not say you're unhappy because you have to travel, have to play this tournament, having to play sports ... You can't because you chose to play it and you love it. I'm tremendously grateful for the support I have received from my family and the close ones.

I am fast and very powerful on the court, so this is what matters.

My father believed in me many times more than I believed in myself.

I try to enjoy what I do, and every moment of the life that I have is a blessing. What else can you do but to be happy and try to bring that joy to the other people around - especially in the tournaments. Everybody has bad days. I'm not always funny or laughing.

I'm trying not to pay too much attention to the rankings because calculations can distract you.
