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.

I don't go thinking I'm going to lose. I never go into a tournament thinking that. I'll do the best that I can.

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'm an unbelievable designer.

Am I the greatest? I don't know. I'm the greatest that I can be.

I played pretty well in my twenties, don't get me wrong! But my consistency is better [in my thirties], my momentum is better, my wins are quicker.

There are people who live, breathe and dress tennis.
