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'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.
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.
I'm here to play female tennis. I've never been involved in men's tennis. . . . I wouldn't be tempted.
You can't underestimate anyone.
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.
The red kind of symbolizes a lot of things I do in Africa, along with a lot of the work, like the red laces. Everybody that buys a pair can pretty much save a life in Africa.
She should have a high level of confidence and I hope next time we play it will be in the final. Early on is awkward and bizarre.
