I know I'm good at tennis. Other than that, everything else is a wild card. I'm a wild card.

I think I've been fortunate to be at the top of the game and in the media for years, and a lot of times, people want to be your friend when you're on the top. You know, there have been times when I've been injured and I never got a phone call. So that's the way it is.

I contribute my best in my sport and I also have a ton of respect for myself and my family.

It wasn't like I was self-motivated. My dad started me. It was his dream before it was mine.

I'm this overachiever type, I'll just work and work and I'll just do it over and over and over again.

All those lessons that I've learned on the court, I have applied them to my life outside of the court in business, my company, called V Starr interiors, an interior design company, and EleVen, which I wear on court.

I most certainly believe that when you're an athlete, that really translates to all sports. You just understand it, your body understands it, and your mind understands it. And you just - it just clicks. I've found that happening when I play other sports. I've seen it, like when I've hit the ball with other professional athletes, and you can see they're just learning so quickly. It's just something that's in their blood. So I think it was in my parents' blood and they understood.
