I don't think there's anyone besides Venus who could've beaten me at this championship.
I don't think there's anyone besides Venus that could have beaten me at this championship, ... Honestly, I'm playing better than I had in Australia.
I like playing Jennifer a lot, I really do. She brings out the best in me.
I'm feeling OK. I'm still not where I want to be at, but I'm definitely feeling better than I was.
I'm definitely picking it up each round, ... I'm definitely playing better than I was even a week ago and two weeks ago. I'm getting better and better.
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.

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.
There's no better stage than the U.S. Open for me. I definitely love it.
Definitely being a tennis player, because you have to sweat more.
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.
