All my life I'd woken up to tennis, tennis, tennis. Even if I don't go to practise, I'm thinking about it all day.
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.
A lifetime with Venus Williams will not be enough.
I've always been a fighter and I've always fought through things my whole life.
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.
I think I actually made a very kind gesture out of nowhere, ... I just decided in the middle of the match, you know, for every ace I hit, I want to donate money, stuff like that. So I don't get that one.
I think I'm playing okay. I definitely think I'm getting better and better. My knee's definitely feeling a lot better.
I think I'm playing okay, ... I definitely think I'm getting better and better. My knee's definitely feeling a lot better.
I'm here to play female tennis. I've never been involved in men's tennis. . . . I wouldn't be tempted.
There are like 50 players from Russia in the top 10. Every week you have to play an 'ova. They ask, 'Who're you playing?' I say, 'I'm playing an 'ova' today.
When the dress was too big on Lyn, I didn't even show it, but I was really disgusted inside. I wanted to scream,
My school was really small, but I was called the Class Clown!
I want to knock on people's doors and preach. But I also meet a lot of people on planes and in restaurants, and you can preach with them or place some literature with them.
People want more fit arms, but my arms are too fit. But I'm not complaining. They pay my bills.
