want olympics china
Seeing the Olympics come to China made me want to get more involved.
cheer community want
Obviously the Asian American community wants you to do well. They are cheering you on no matter what the circumstances.
believe careers want
I still have a belief and a faith that some great things are still going to happen in my career. If I didnt believe that, it makes no sense for me to be out there, and on top of that, I know this is a period of time that God wants me to persevere through.
want way results
You know, I feel like if I don't change something, then the results maybe are going to continue the way that they have. That for me is not something that I want to really be a part of.
training want way
You can work really hard, but if you're not training in the right way you're not going to improve and get to the level that you want to.
biggest bit maybe opponent
My biggest opponent has been the injuries. It's a little bit new for me. Maybe it has to do with El Nino or something.
behind flirting happens
I'm still flirting with No. 1. It just so happens that I have a two behind the one.
chinese foreign girls nearly success
Nearly all of these Chinese girls that have had success have had coaching from foreign coaches.
players
It's not that easy for some of these players in China to get the coaching they need.
agility quickness
As an athlete, I used my speed, agility and quickness to go out and play against the big guys.
american-athlete
If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try, try, try again.
planes sensitive
I think when you first come out here, you're very sensitive to planes overhead.
grow rather slower
I think that I would rather grow racquet-wise than grow taller. I think I would be a lot slower if I got taller. So I wouldn't want to give up that.
bless god
God bless each and every one of you, especially China.
