The prize money for first place was $2,800, but I didn't take it because I was still an amateur.

I didn't want to just rally at the baseline, even though that happened a lot.

My mind started wandering. I started playing carefully, instead of playing the way that had gotten me to that point. I had to force myself to keep driving the ball.

My mom and dad met at UCLA when he as a captain in the Air Force and she was in her junior year.

In Toronto, Serena Williams was not fit at all, not striking the ball well at all, and went three sets with someone (ranked) 92 in the world.

From one match to the next, I kept on winning.

I was too young to take it all in. I was too young to even realize I was young. I was just living my life.
