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.
The tournament means so much to me as well as the things I do in Africa. I thought it could also work well together.
You can't underestimate anyone.
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.
I need to be at my peak and my best is holding up the trophy. Anything less I wouldn't be really excited about. So that's all I can focus on.
I don't have anything to prove ever, ever in my life. If I have something to prove, what does that mean for everyone else? And I think everyone should have that attitude.
I like to wear classic silhouettes and add a punch to it.
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 got involved in the design process a long time ago. I've been working with their main designer [Berlei] for a while. It's been really fun all around.
We're in different categories. She [Venus Williams] does sports, I do more of the fashion side.
In the locker rooms, I'm always suggesting, "You need Berlei." Because it's the best brand for women and for me.
My fridge is really just vegan: coconut water, Gatorade (my favorite!), cucumbers, mint, kale, vegetables, ginger, and wheat grass.
We're going in really fresh. We're going to have fresh legs and bodies, we're going to be able to stay the distance, and that's our goal.
I don't know if I've had my share of drama, but I've definitely had my share of hard times.
