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

I've always made some legendary comebacks since 1998 when it first started. So that's kind of just been my MO for my whole career.

Will I have to explain to my daughter that her brother is gonna make more money doing the exact same job because he's a man? If they both played sports since they were three years old, they both worked just as hard, but because he's a boy, they're gonna give him more money? Like, how am I gonna explain that to her? In tennis we've had great pioneers that paved the way - including Venus [Williams], who fought so hard for Wimbledon to pay women the same prize money they pay men, and Billie Jean King, who is one of the main reasons Title IX exists.

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

My dad is a marketing mastermind.

I went on the courts with just a ball and a racket and a hope...and that's all I had.

I am not a robot. I have a heart and I bleed.
