I always believe I can beat the best, achieve the best. I always see myself in the top position.

I love tennis more than designing because it's actually easier and I don't get nearly as nervous.

I love who I am, and I encourage other people to love and embrace who they are. But it definitely wasn't easy - it took me a while.

If I'm winning, I have to act like I'm not bored. If it's A tough match, I have to act like I'm having A good time. I'm a drama queen.

People see me on the court only as a superhero, grunting and winning. They think you're a robot, and I'm not.

Will I have to explain to my daughter that her brother is gonna make more money doing the exact same job because he's a man? If they both played sports since they were three years old, they both worked just as hard, but because he's a boy, they're gonna give him more money? Like, how am I gonna explain that to her? In tennis we've had great pioneers that paved the way - including Venus [Williams], who fought so hard for Wimbledon to pay women the same prize money they pay men, and Billie Jean King, who is one of the main reasons Title IX exists.

I really hope that I can be helpful in that journey because I do believe that women deserve the same pay. We work just as hard as men do. I've been working, playing tennis, since I was three years old. And to be paid less just because of my sex - it doesn't seem fair.
