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.

Ive been taught very early on that if you want to win a tournament youve got to beat anybody, and hopefully I play well and enjoy it.

The tennis wasn't really very much on my mind, so it wasn't like I was thinking about it all the time.

When you lose a couple of times, it makes you realize how difficult it is to win.

As long as I can focus on enjoying what I'm doing, having fun, I know I'll play well.

I appreciate very much being injury-free.

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