I've played in a lot of big matches and you learn from them.
I always had a powerful serve. It's one of the best in women's tennis. It's very good to have a weapon like that.
I think because I was the first Chinese player to win a grand slam, people were thinking: 'She's not like normal people.'
I'm married. Who cares about me?
I'm still happy, I like this life.
Of course you're nervous going into a final.
Of course, after I retire I want to be the housewife, really.
The weather for me is nothing special. The weather couldn't kill me.
When I got into the sport I was so fat that my manager said he should send me to boot camp to lose the weight!
I need some time to recover. I'm not a machine.
The first time I showed the tattoo it was big news in the newspaper. 'She has a tattoo with a snake.' It's not a snake!
I just feel exciting.
I just follow my heart.
I just keep fighting and try to be the last one standing.
