Through my travels, I find inspiration in street style and how young women create their individual looks and identity.
That's why we have journalists, for stats.
Well, fans always root for the underdog.
I can't say I don't like acting, but I can't imagine a career when I have to spend 70 percent of my time in a trailer eating Snickers bars.
When I need to push myself, I think of all those nicely polished trophies waiting to be lifted up by the winner - and how that winner might be me.
I love jotting down ideas for my blog, so I doodle or take notes on all kinds of stuff that inspires me: the people I meet, boutiques I visit, a florist that just gave me a great idea for an interior-design project, things like that.
I think when you know what you are going to wear, it fits and it's great material, then you feel confident in it.
I try not to hit a swing volley and run back. So my swing volley is kind of that transition to the net. It's been one of my favorite shots ever since I was young.
It's nice to be one of the most beautiful people.
I love playing for my country, getting the support. Especially for the kids and everybody, showing my example of what I can achieve so early. And maybe they can achieve it, too, just to get that in their minds.
I'm not the next Kournikova-I want to win matches!
As an individual, I take every match seriously, no matter who I'm going to play.
I'd like to have a family.
Since I was young, the artistic expression that fashion embodies has inspired me. It's a way to communicate oneself.
I don't follow other players or the tournaments they play. I have my own schedule and do my own thing. I never really think, 'Oh, I want to be or play like so-and-so.' I just like being myself.
I know you are reporters and I know this is your job, but, you know, take your note pads, take your pencils down, take your grunt-o-meters down, the fashion police, put everything away and just watch the match, you know, from just the fans' perspective. I seriously think that the quality of the match today was great.
I think when you have surgery on any part of your body, it's never going to be the same.
Maybe if I was British, a semi-final would be incredible. I'd be on the front page of the paper.
I heard endless conversations between my parents when I was going to sleep about how we would survive, how we would continue. All of them were about trying to make me better.
I love to collect modern art.
I have always had an interest in fashion and design and I appreciate style and timelessness within my footwear and accessories both on and off the court
When you travel so many weeks a year, it's always nice to have a home-cooked meal.
I owe a lot to my parents.
I have a very big sweet tooth and I love treating myself to something that I wouldn't necessarily eat during the tournament such as a nice-sized cake.
I spent a whole year when I was injured just trying to get my arm back to the point where I could hit a tennis ball for more than 30 minutes a day. I'd hit for 15 minutes and it would feel as if my arm was going to fall off.
