I'm an unbelievable designer. I don't know how I know and just do these things. I just start sketching and then I just know the colors and I always know the forecast. I know green and purple are going to be hot. I was born to be a designer. I worked hard to be a tennis player, I don't work hard to be a designer.

Everybody who plays me plays me so hard because they always want to beat me.

My dad is the nicest guy you'll ever meet, and the easiest going.

I think you have to love yourself before you fall in love. I'm still learning to love myself.

I love "Phenomenal Woman." The experiences she had of being African American in the U.S. - that itself is a task. I appreciate the hardships Maya Angelou went through for our generation. I'm super influenced by the black people that paved the way for us.

If anything, we haven't changed much since we [with Venuse Williams] were kids. We really are the same people.

Hopefully, we can build a rivalry and we'll be able to do this a lot. Make a legacy, then retire champions.
