I have to use other things to help my tennis, like my brain. But I believe that, even when your muscles are not so fast, with the brain and with concentration you can compensate.

I am not blonde, yes. Have I dreamt about having a model contract? No. But have I dreamed about winning Wimbledon? Absolutely.

I like to draw, produce paintings, do something with my fingers - but I am very normal, down-to-earth person.

I just hugged the man that murdered my son.
