I like playing Jennifer a lot, I really do. She brings out the best in me.
I'm not used to crying. . . . It's a little difficult. All my life I've had to fight. It's just another fight I'm going to have to learn how to win, that's all. I'm just going to have to keep smiling.
I played terrible. I never expected a tough match like this. I'm disappointed I couldn't perform better.
In order to beat Venus, I'm going to have to be (better). I think my biggest test will be Venus.
I didn't put it on tight enough because I was rushing to go out. I was hoping it wouldn't fall, but I knew in the back of my mind it would, and it did. I was like, 'OK, I'll just put them on earlier in my next match.

Because of my ankle injury I had to take some time off so my leg isn't as strong as it needs to be, ... So the pain in my knee is a result of that.
Hopefully, next time we meet will be in the finals. It's very weird and awkward and bizarre to meet so early. I don't think I played my best, and I don't think Venus did, either.
Honestly, I began to think, 'OK, well, I'm not going to go for the lines, I'm not going to go for my shots.
I'm feeling OK. I'm still not where I want to be at, but I'm definitely feeling better than I was.
I'm definitely picking it up each round, ... I'm definitely playing better than I was even a week ago and two weeks ago. I'm getting better and better.
When you travel so much, the best and most relaxing thing is to just sit on the couch and not move.
I love hitting aces. It's not easy, but it makes your life a lot easier.
I grew up watching my mom in the kitchen, that's how I know anything about cooking. I've always wanted to go to a culinary class actually.
