As a people, Serbians are very tall, and we have olive skin and dark hair, which can look very nice. You have to be very beautiful to stand out.
My coach is, 'Look at Novak. Look at him. They're so ripped.' I'm like, 'Yeah, well, I can't look like that.'
I am pretty happy. But there are so many things I have to still improve.
Sport doesn't build character, it shows it.
A smile is a curve that can straighten out a lot of problems.
Fame and success and titles stay with you, but they wear out eventually. In the end, all that you are left with is your character.
She's a good a player, she's in good form, but I think it was a little bit mentally tough for her after her win over Mauresmo. I think I'm playing good tennis at the moment, so I'm hopeful I can carry on winning.
I like to be alone and listen to music. Every match I play, I have a tune in my head over and over. It might only be a few words or a small piece of the tune, but it can drive you mad.
I like men who have goals, something that they are passionate about and work hard to achieve. A good sense of humor is important too. And I like tall guys!
I'm quite an emotional person. I cry a lot. I do not like conflict, so if I have an argument with my parents, I'll often cry. I become too emotional.
I just tried to play my game, to attack her and get a little bit into court and get her on the move, and I think I did that pretty well,
I'm very honored that fans voted for me for this award. Although very flattering, I know that all these awards are ultimately based upon my tennis results, and therefore I am very pleased to be receiving them.
I'm very proud to be a professional tennis player. I'm really happy to be doing something that I love. With this comes responsibility, and I am honored when I am told that I have inspired someone to play tennis.
I really just try to enjoy the game and hope that I can inspire young kids. I started playing tennis because of Monica Seles, and I try to promote the sport in the best possible way. Sometimes it's hard because you get upset on court, but I think in life one learns through experiences in order to evolve as a person.
