I told my Nike representative, 'Why didn't you guys use me for this? It was a joke. Like I said, I'm not in the competition.
All my life I've kinda dreamed of being the best, and doing the best, and it hasn't always been easy for me. So I've been trying, but it's really special to have come such a long way, it's just really fulfilling. And the fact that I'm just making history right now and the fact that I was able to win four in a row, it doesn't happen every day.
It was extremely hot out there. Was that the hottest I've been? Maybe. It was definitely one of the hottest,
The knee just isn't 100 percent, ... It's hard to be out there when you know that you can't play at your best and could potentially make it worse.
I think it's great, I'm actually rooting for her - unless of course she plays me.
It could come very soon. All I can do is play to get to the fourth round. Venus and I just have to get there. No one gets me more motivated than Venus. She won Wimbledon and has five majors. I still have seven titles. So I have to stay ahead of her.
I think that's definitely going to be the most exciting, ... One of us will be going to the quarters.
It definitely could be very soon, ... but the only way to think about it is just play to get there, don't go out before. That's all we can do. There's nothing else I can do except get back to one and two in the world.
When you're playing the best player in the world, you've got to play well.
If I step on a scale, I won't eat for five months.
Once I serve well, my whole game goes up.
I'm a real extrovert, but when I'm round someone new, I'm super shy.
I've thought it would be cool to have a baby young. You know, be my road dog - like my dogs, they travel the world - but there's always something you have to give up for success. Everything comes at a cost. Just what are you willing to pay for it?
I've never been over-dramatic in my whole career.
