I just keep fighting and try to be the last one standing.
It is a surprise to win in the National Games. It's my honor to compete with Olympic champions and world champions. I am so lucky today,
Just because you win the French Open it doesn't mean you can do well at Wimbledon.
We don't produce A-cups for some bras with larger chest circumference now as demand is low.
We did not play our usual game in the first half and gave away too many opening chances.
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 felt sad because everyday I had to wake up early to practice before going to school. After school I had to go back to tennis again, and then after tennis I had homework. I didn't have time to play.
The woman's tour is very tough for all of the players.
Iran have improved rapidly in the past two years. They have very good young players and gave us some trouble,
I want to go to Shenzhen or somewhere down south to work as a waitress or in a factory. I don't want to do what my mom does. Life's too tough as a Chinese farmer.
I need some time to recover. I'm not a machine.
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.
