I got involved in the design process a long time ago. I've been working with their main designer [Berlei] for a while. It's been really fun all around.

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

If I'm winning, I have to act like I'm not bored. If it's A tough match, I have to act like I'm having A good time. I'm a drama queen.

I just never give up. I fight to the end. You can't go out and say, 'I want a bag of never-say-die spirit.' It's not for sale. It has to be innate.

How many people yell at linespeople? I see it happening all the time. I don't know how many times I have seen that happen.

I feel like I don't have to win anymore. I've had a wonderful career. Tennis has given me so much, things I would have never expected in my life. I feel honored to even be a part of such a wonderful sport.

Since I don't look like every other girl, it takes a while to be okay with that. To be different. But different is good.
