It shifted attention away from that and Ive never been someone who liked the attention from the media anyway.

If you watch Rafael Nadal play tennis, you can only respond with amazement and great admiration. He is an incredible athlete with so much discipline, so much concentration and someone who likes to put a lot of passion into every point. Words fail to come out of me to describe his game appropriately. I've rarely seen anyone who approaches a ball with so much attention. With such passion and joy that it makes great fun to watch him. With him, you can associate everything that makes tennis so beautiful.

I think it takes people to get to know you and the recognition comes over time.

Age, what is it? It's not a figure that has ever meant anything to me.

I don't like the word 'businesswoman.' Perhaps 'committed mother' would be the best description.

You can't measure success if you have never failed. My father has taught me that if you really do want to reach your goals, you can't spend any time worrying about whether you're going to win or lose. Focus only on getting better.

I have always been guided by striving to show the best that I could. That is what kept me going in tennis and it is the same now.
