Nobody actually played tennis in my family.

It gives me goose bumps and little butterflies in the stomach when I start thinking about the 'golden slam.'

I want the same thing I've wanted since I was 7 years old. I want to be No. 1.

I love being around people who care about me, and I care about them.

Tennis is a mental game. Everyone is fit, everyone hits great forehands and backhands.

I physically feel very fit. I’m very motivated to keep on playing on a very high level. I’m going to try to use these years in front of me to fight for the number one of the world and fight for the biggest titles.

I know that success does not come at once, it is not a thing achieved overnight. It is the result of many, many, many years of working and trying to achieve goals.
