I do not have revenge on my mind, but I don't like losing to the same player twice in a row. Martina played some amazing tennis in Tokyo, but it is a different match tomorrow.
I'm 17 years old and there are many great things ahead. If I don't win the U.S. Open this year, it's not going to be a disaster in my life.
I love to look elegant and this dress is very light and cool, ... The best thing about tennis is that you can wear cute little dresses and express your individuality.
I love Miami. There's a lot of entertainment going on. Some of the tournaments on the tour are pretty boring. This isn't one of them.
I'm very disappointed I am not able to continue my play in Philadelphia. I was having a really good tournament and I'm sure it will still be an exciting final weekend. I just wish I could be a part of it.
I'm playing pretty well, but it is going to get tougher and tougher.
Im just like every other girl who likes to shop, likes to look good, likes to spend time with friends
But coming here for the first time in years it made me feel even more so.
The surface here is very dangerous as you can see from today's match.
I think I learn a lot from losses and they make me a lot tougher,
New York hasn't ever seen the best of me.
This is unbelievable, I don't know how I'm in the final. This is crazy,
That's not the way I like to win matches, but anything can happen in tennis.
The funny thing was, he started clapping for me after that. I think he got scared. Then when I was waving to that side (after winning), he's like.
