I just could never have imagined that I would be mentioned with Chris Evert or with Martina Navratilova, because I was just a kid with a dream and a racquet. Living in Compton, you know, this never happened before.

Tennis is my job, but it's not my life.

The tournament means so much to me as well as the things I do in Africa. I thought it could also work well together.

I want it to be more natural. Right now it feels really forced. Seems like I've never done a curtsy before, which may be true. But I'm looking forward to nailing 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 would be really excellent in a horror film because I have a great scream. I'd be really good in a comedy too. I'm top, top, top quality.

I'm playing to around 30% of my potential - you'd be shocked at what I could do.
