I've never had big problems about being long on the court. During the U.S. Open I played three events (singles, doubles, mixed doubles) and some people asked me if I want to stay overnight on the court.
Well, maybe at home I don't have the best image.
Any tournament you go to, you want to win it.
Now that I beat Lindsay I feel much better.
I've always said I'm a good horse but I'm still an underdog.
Right now I like baseball, hockey and tennis players. And horseback riders.
And the '99 finals at the French - if I had won that one easily, no one would have talked about it.
No, because I think I have a reason to believe in myself and I think I'm also pretty confident about who I am and what I'm doing and it might be because I'm still at the top too.
I went through very emotional things this year, like being in the French Open finals already feeling like you got it and kind of losing it.
He is still my father. He is still a person I know I could trust and he would never do anything against me. Once you're at the top, there are not many people like that. People always want something from you.
I don't think it's a low point being in the finals of the French Open, three points away from the victory.
I'm sure she wants revenge. I'll just try not to let that happen.
I still speak Czech with my parents because I was born there.
When I was 4 my mother got divorced and we were very close to each other. I always wanted to be with her. She took me everywhere. When she went for dinner with friends or when they had meetings at the tennis club, I was always there.
I still think I have the speed and the variations also to win the matches, but its very good competition and also a great challenge for me too.
We had a poster of the Davis Cup in 1986. It was in Prague, the Czech Republic against Sweden, and we went to watch, so I got the poster. You couldn't get all the posters. You were lucky if you got one.
I think the whole boycott thing was a bit too much. It's because we're accomplished so much in women's tennis in the last two, three years. We deserve something better.
The top players talk more now, and we have more meetings. We're just trying to get things better. But we still need somebody who could make a difference.
Honestly, I'm more into the computer, the Internet, and checking out scores or the news.
Before I was the hunter. Now I'm the hunted.
