Once you reach a good level in tennis it fills you with a lot of motivation. I hope I can do it for a long time.

One or two years ago, I didn't know who I was on court and I used to swear a lot. But now I've learned how to cope and can therefore win 10 matches in a row. I want to be remembered as a good player rather than an idiot on court.

My dad said if you become a tennis professional just make sure you get into the top hundred, because you have to make a little bit of money. You make a living so you can pay your coaching and, you know, your travels.

To handle that stardom, the red carpets, the photo shoots, people all of a sudden recognizing you and following you in everyday life, it's a bit weird. It's strange, and it can have funny effects on you in terms of do you like it or don't you like it. Some people run away from it, some people embrace it; I found a good middle ground.

When you're good at something, make that everything

I'm playing great tennis. I'm enjoying the tour, having fun with the fans off the court. I'm loving it now.

Every match I go into, I'm the huge favorite. I lose a set and it's, like, crazy.
