I just hate to lose. When I am on the court, it is like my life depends on it.

I've almost lost several times but come through that. Being able to play your way through the tournament is really able to help.

I never left my roots. You can identify me as someone that didn't become high and mighty. Humility is a defining [trait] all of us can forever learn, and I try to be as humble as anyone can be.

I'm not one to blame anyone else for anything. And I don't think anyone else should either.

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'm not taking Zika lightly. Especially being older, I definitely am going everywhere protected. I'm protecting myself.

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