You cannot compare your athletic achievement to the importance of children and giving them a safe environment in which to grow up and enjoy life.

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

I knew that maybe I couldn't be playing again, but I just wanted to get in physical shape.

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.

Grass is a surface I have always loved, Wimbledon is a tournament I have always loved.

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.

It's so difficult to find time besides the tennis.
