I definitely have found a balance, ... I've had so many offers in the past to do different movies or different thing and I always choose tournaments over it.
There's no better stage than the U.S. Open for me. I definitely love it.
It was extremely hot out there. Was that the hottest I've been? Maybe. It was definitely one of the hottest,
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.
Definitely being a tennis player, because you have to sweat more.
I think that's definitely going to be the most exciting, ... One of us will be going to the quarters.
I definitely feel I have the game to be number one and I would not strive for anything less or let it enter my mind.
Like I said, in a later round, it's definitely easier, ... I've never played her this early, so it's a little tough.
I used to do gymnastics, so sometimes when I would go to the pool, I would go to the diving board, ... But I was always too scared to jump off.
I've almost lost several times but come through that. Being able to play your way through the tournament is really able to help.
I love tennis. Quite frankly, I'm tired of people saying I put tennis third and last in my life. If I did, I wouldn't be here playing. I wouldn't be here practicing. I could be at the beach. I could be retired. I could be drinking lemonade with my legs crossed in the sun on the beach. I'm not doing that. I'm not in Saint-Tropez.

We do more ready-to-wear and ath-leisure, things you would wear everyday. I never close my mind to anything and eventually want to branch out. But for now, tennis is still number one for me.
