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.
I would be really excellent in a horror film because I have a great scream. I'd be really good in a comedy too. I'm top, top, top quality.
All I want is to have fun in what I'm doing every day. I don't want to break records. To become the greatest player ever could take me like...10 more years and I don't think I'll still be playing at 31.
It's so great to have that opportunity with so many young American players coming up now. It's just so exciting. We have to root for the home country.
I think my father is probably the best coach ever because if we talk about numbers, he's got a lot and he's only had two players.
I'm an unbelievable designer. I don't know how I know and just do these things. I just start sketching and then I just know the colors and I always know the forecast. I know green and purple are going to be hot. I was born to be a designer. I worked hard to be a tennis player, I don't work hard to be a designer.
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.
I think I actually made a very kind gesture out of nowhere, ... I just decided in the middle of the match, you know, for every ace I hit, I want to donate money, stuff like that. So I don't get that one.
I think I'm playing okay. I definitely think I'm getting better and better. My knee's definitely feeling a lot better.
