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

I've always considered myself the best and the top. I never considered that I was out of it.

If I have a daughter and she plays tennis, and I have a son who plays tennis, I wouldn't say that my son deserves more money because he's a man. I would say they deserve the same amount of money.

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.

Victory is very, very sweet. It tastes better than any dessert you've ever had.

I want to be a giving woman and just a nice person in general.

My goal in a couple of years is to try to build a successful fashion house like Armani or Versace. I want that more than anything.
