My game has matured, and mentally, I've just matured to another level. That is a major factor in it. Some people mature really late.
I have started to realize that I am really just a world athlete and a world entertainer -- I am a world-known person, I am a global icon.
The guy is the greatest male athletes of all time.
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.
I'm an actress, model and athlete, and I'd put athlete third on the list.
I'm an athlete and I'm black, and a lot of black athletes go broke. I do not want to become a statistic, so maybe I overcompensate. But I'm paranoid. Oprah told me a long time ago, 'You sign every check. Never let anyone sign any checks.'
I'm a high-performance athlete: I'm running, I'm sprinting, I'm sliding, I'm doing pretty much everything and the last thing I want to worry about is my chest. I want to just worry about playing the sport at the highest level that I can.
Luck has nothing to do with it, because I have spent many, many hours, countless hours, on the court working for my one moment in time, not knowing when it would come.
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.
fits my personality. It's young, colorful, funky, cool it's a great fit for me.
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.
There's no better stage than the U.S. Open for me. I definitely love it.
I wasn't used to the conditions and...I had to kind of gather myself. When I won the second set I was really relaxed and then I just got a little too anxious in the third and was missing a few shots.
