We've reached the best of our profession Actually, I'd like to stay No. 1, but I'd like to see Serena No. 1, also. I'm not giving it up, but I'm sure she'll get there.
My health is okay. My experience will carry me even though I didn't play that many tournaments this summer. I'm mentally prepared.
My hip was hurting, and I couldn't move like I wanted to,
No, I don't really watch the news. In some ways, I'm very unaware of the latest happenings in the world. I kind of leave it like that because sometimes it's better not to know.
Obviously, if Serena was No. 60 in the world, not a huge threat, it would be completely different, and the same for me, vice versa,
She always comes out with her best game against me, ... I feel like I'll definitely be able to play better on, what will it be, Tuesday. I'm looking forward to it. Serena's promised to help me get my game together.
She doesn't know that I have a food taster.
She played fairly consistently. I probably shouldn't have made so many mistakes. I'll remember not to next time.
She played a very aggressive game. I don't think I had an opportunity really to get a rhythm. I would have liked to have hit more balls, but it was OK.
Life is good, ... I've been able to see the other side of life a little more, but I'm really eager to get back and I'm really eager to be traveling and doing my thing that I'm used to doing.
She's obviously a great player, doing things on the court that amazing, ... She's motivating other people all over the world to do their best both on the court and off the court, so I think it will be really cool and I regard her.
She's definitely on the verge of more great things, for sure.
She's definitely a little more fiery than I am, ... I keep it a little more even-keel.
My doctors and trainers have advised me that my leg needs to fully recover in order for me to play at the level that I'm accustomed to playing.
