The most fun part about working out is being done - getting through the workout, let's be honest. But that feeling afterward? Yeah, that's worth it.
It is very important not to think about losing.
I'm not a trend person. I don't want to look to my right and see somebody in the same thing.
Anything which draws attention to me because I am so attractive.
When you get into that habit of winning, it gets - I don't know if you call it contagious - but it gets to be a habit. She's developed an unbelievable habit.
It's what I've trained for, from the first sketch to the fabric. Making dresses that are different from the usual style, and a lot of fun to wear.
I don't carry a purse when I fly because I have my Hello Kitty carry-on. I'm the biggest adult supporter.
Rain is good for me. I feel like I achieve clarity actually when it rains. The longer I have to sit and wait, the clearer my game becomes to me.
'Oh and Oh' is a tennis term... It's a nice way of saying you took your opponent to pieces.
Every Olympics is something special. If you're fortunate enough to play for your country - there's just so much energy. It's truly amazing.
You learn so much from your parents. We grew up in a home where we were definitely taught to be confident. I definitely give me parents a lot of credit.
The outfit is inspired by Alice in Wonderland. It's kind of about a surprise, because when Alice goes down the rabbit hole, she finds all these things that are so surprising. This outfit is about having a surprise in a tennis dress, and showing some skin and then just having a print. Prints don't happen that often in tennis. So it's called the Wonderland dress.
My ambition is to enjoy my life and to do exactly what I want to do. And I'll do that. I will be free.
Workout. Lead a balanced life and try to have fun. It's what you make it.
