dream last london love melbourne time wimbledon win
I would love to do well one last time in Melbourne and my dream would be to win Wimbledon and play in the London Olympics.
belt eventually hard matches pay playing stick sure trying work
I'm happy I was able to stick through it and was being very disciplined with what I had to do, because I know eventually hard work will pay off. It's only a matter of now just trying to make sure I get matches under my belt and I feel more and more comfortable playing matches.
definitely lose might next round work
I know that I'm going to have to work hard, keep working hard, and not because of this victory think, 'I'm back.' I don't think like that. I'll definitely work hard. Things are not going to be easy. I might lose first round next week. You never know.
used ifs loses
When I was younger I used to be devastated if I would lose.
america four lasts
You can wake me up now - these last four weeks in America have been incredible.
names
When I marry my name will not change.
believe tough shots
It was tough, I gave everything I had on those match points but she just came up with better shots. I still find it very hard to believe. Its amazing.
sports nice years
Obviously over the years, it's been America, it's been Europe. It's all been very kind of divided between those two continents. It's nice to kind of see that Asia is starting - and especially China - starting to get recognized in this sport, too.
monkeys wells
Well, there's no monkey on my back,
play trying needs
But I have been hitting for a week now and trying to get back into some sort of routine because I need to play well at tournaments,
daughter mother
I have a daughter and a family.
support crowds behind-you
You know, it doesn't happen that often that you have the crowd support behind you straightaway from the beginning of the match.
motivation hard-work frustrated
These were the moments when I was disappointed and frustrated, when I got so low because it seemed all my hard work had been wasted. But the moments passed, and the motivation to go back to rehab was there again.
easy hard
I've worked really hard, but it's definitely not been easy.
