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.
She's playing unbelievable. I'm just going to have to pick up, ... Each game I'm picking up the level of my play.
I definitely feel I have the game to be number one and I would not strive for anything less or let it enter my mind.
I'm like a chameleon. I can kind of change and get my game going to whatever the situation is. If I play well, which I don't think I've even reached yet at all in this tournament, it's really hard for anyone to beat me.
Tennis just a game, family is forever.
Family's first, and that's what matters most. We realize that our love goes deeper than the tennis game.
There are like 50 players from Russia in the top 10. Every week you have to play an 'ova. They ask, 'Who're you playing?' I say, 'I'm playing an 'ova' today.
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.
When the dress was too big on Lyn, I didn't even show it, but I was really disgusted inside. I wanted to scream,
Two or three years ago, she was playing really awesome, ... Now she's playing unbelievable.
To me it doesn't matter. If they'd closed the roof I would have been okay, but if they kept it open I was fine too.
I disagree 100 percent with that, ... We've had some incredibly tough matches.
No one gets me more motivated than Venus because I don't want her to catch up with me yet. She's at five (Grand Slam tournament titles) now. I still have seven. So I got to keep ahead.
I was fighting, and it was pretty much all I had, ... It didn't feel good, and I wasn't moving to any balls. I was trying to shorten points and just do what I could.
