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.

I decided I can't pay a person to rewind time, so I may as well get over it.

I am here to play women's tennis. I'm a lady. Predominantly, most of the time I always like to play ladies.

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

Venus told me the other day that champions don't get nervous in tight situations. That really helped me a lot. I decided I shouldn't get nervous and just do the best I can.

It's me, and I love me. I learned to love me. I've been like this my whole life, and I embrace me. I love how I look. I love that I'm a full woman and I'm strong and I'm powerful and I'm beautiful at the same time. There's nothing wrong with that.

Dad thanks for leaning in by helping me become a role model for young girls.
