We're going in really fresh, ... We're going to have fresh legs and bodies, we're going to be able to stay the distance, and that's our goal.
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 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.

I'm a big supporter of this product for women. And [my relationship with the brand Berlei] was so organic. I would go to the store and buy 40 or 50 bras every year because I could only get them in Australia at the time. And then eventually they heard that I would come and take all the stock.
In the locker rooms, I'm always suggesting, "You need Berlei." Because it's the best brand for women and for me.
I disagree 100 percent with that, ... We've had some incredibly tough matches.
If Plan A isn't working, I have Plan B, Plan C, and even Plan D.
Venus told me the other day that champions don't get nervous in tight situations. That really helped me a lot. I decided I shouldn't get nervous and just do the best I can.
Hopefully, we can build a rivalry and we'll be able to do this a lot. Make a legacy, then retire champions.
I know a lot of people who are 12 and doing things they shouldnt be doing. Whether youre an actress or a singer, its always the sexier ones that are selling more tickets or selling more albums.
I've developed a karaoke habit. I've become a crooner.
I love metaphors. I've never been on this train. ... If I'm standing on the middle of a track, I'm definitely going to get derailed. I have to make sure that I'm on the train and not in front of it.
We're sisters, we're roommates, we're all that.
