Any time you enter a tournament before a slam, there's always the possibility you'll be arriving late. It's a very good problem to have.
Australians are hungry for sport. They love it. They're addicted to it.
There has to be a very good balance between being aggressive and then being able to defend as well.
Any time you can go out and compete is better than getting on a practice court.
I certainly fear no one, and I know I can go out there and match up with the world's best.
I think the only expectation is that I put on myself to do everything right and to put myself in a position to perform as best that I can.
The support we get in Australia is phenomenal.
It would be awesome to play in my backyard.
I've become more mature on and off the court, and I've learned how to deal with some of those big occasions much better.
It is tough when you're by yourself, and I think that's why team sport is so appealing.
I don't normally get too excited. I just - yeah, I just try and keep it pretty simple, and that's just my personality, really.
You obviously have a different perspective on life when you're 20 compared to when you're 16.
There are not a lot of people in the world that get to say they get to walk through the gates of Wimbledon and play on Centre Court. It's pretty phenomenal, and we're very lucky to live this life that we do.
I just want to be the best I can and create my own style of game.
You never approach any prof or semi-professional sport as a hit and giggle.
Cricket is semi-pro for women in Australia, but the girls work damn hard, and it's credit to them to try and grow the sport.
I've always wanted to be my own player from the start and do things a bit differently to what the others do. I want to play my own way.
I don't watch much tennis, never really have.
It's the older girls I seem to get on with. I think it's just because they kind of respect me as a player, I suppose.
It's exciting when there is any growth in women's sport.
