As long as I can focus on enjoying what I'm doing, having fun, I know I'll play well.

You can have a certain arrogance, and I think that's fine, but what you should never lose is the respect for the others.

When you lose a couple of times, it makes you realize how difficult it is to win.

I never look back, I look forward.

You can't measure success if you have never failed.

Age, what is it? It's not a figure that has ever meant anything to me.

I have always been guided by striving to show the best that I could. That is what kept me going in tennis and it is the same now.

There is no relief at it being over. There is the joy of winning it.

My big dream was to work as a photographer for 'National Geographic.'

It doesn't hurt to lose my crown, it hurts to lose.

I don't ever look back. I look forward.

Open your mind before you open your mouth
