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

I never close my mind to anything and eventually want to branch out. But for now, tennis is still number one for me.

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

I'm a perfectionist. I'm pretty much insatiable. I feel there's so many things I can improve on.

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.

Sure, I've been on the Tube...I caught it to Eastbourne once.
