I'm not used to crying. . . . It's a little difficult. All my life I've had to fight. It's just another fight I'm going to have to learn how to win, that's all. I'm just going to have to keep smiling.
The knee just isn't 100 percent, ... It's hard to be out there when you know that you can't play at your best and could potentially make it worse.
I just played terrible. Sun played very well and was ready for the match. I'm disappointed I couldn't perform better today.
I like playing Jennifer a lot, I really do. She brings out the best in me.
In order to beat Venus, I'm going to have to be (better). I think my biggest test will be Venus.
Ankle's good, but I'm just dealing with some issues with my knee because of my ankle, ... Since it went bad, my ankle, my knee got a little weak. Well, weaker than it has been in the past...I was so angry (during the match), I just wanted to crack every racket. But I didn't do it. That's a plus...I wasn't even moving to any balls. I have tomorrow off so maybe that can help but I'll have to see what my therapist says.
It was extremely hot out there. Was that the hottest I've been? Maybe. It was definitely one of the hottest,

All my life I've kinda dreamed of being the best, and doing the best, and it hasn't always been easy for me. So I've been trying, but it's really special to have come such a long way, it's just really fulfilling. And the fact that I'm just making history right now and the fact that I was able to win four in a row, it doesn't happen every day.
fits my personality. It's young, colorful, funky, cool it's a great fit for me.
There's no better stage than the U.S. Open for me. I definitely love it.
I used to do gymnastics, so sometimes when I would go to the pool, I would go to the diving board, ... But I was always too scared to jump off.
I've always been a beauty junkie. I've tried every product. I'm addicted to products. I can't go into the mall without buying everything. I said to my manager, 'I should get a beauty deal, I'm going to go broke buying all these products.
I definitely have found a balance, ... I've had so many offers in the past to do different movies or different thing and I always choose tournaments over it.
