I try not to be protected. Because I feel like you can become a little bit of a robot. That's not who I am. And I don't want to be monotone. It's important to be yourself, whatever the cost.

I always say if I play my best it's difficult to beat me

Honestly, I don't read the press. I don't know what they're saying.

Family's first, and that's what matters most. We realize that our love goes deeper than the tennis game.

There are people who live, breathe and dress tennis.

I'm not used to crying. It's a little difficult. All my life I've had to fight. It's just another fight I'm going to have to learn how to win, that's all. I'm just going to have to keep smiling.

Since I don't look like every other girl, it takes a while to be okay with that. To be different. But different is good.
