My father used to play ice hockey, though not at a high level, and my mother wasn't involved in sport at all, but they were keen that we played some sort of sport. They chose tennis because they thought it was a good sport for girls to play.
My serve - it's really important for me.
Serena is tough to beat; to get over her in the rankings is hard.
I have a different game than most of the players.
My movement actually is the worst part of the game but still improving.
It's good to have someone on the tour so close to you - I mean, like, my sister. There is no one closer to me on the tour, so I don't need any other friends than her. We always talk about everything; not only about tennis, but about all the other stuff around tennis.
If I serve good and play aggressive from the baseline, I can beat everyone.
It's not great to look up and your sister is down 3-0. But you have to look; it's my sister.
It's a plus to have a twin sister in the same tournaments.
To beat Serena, she's world No. 1, so it's always tough to beat someone like this. She's never giving up. Even if she's losing, not playing her best, it's always tough to beat girls like this.
I know the world is mean, that there is so much suffering on the planet that none of us can imagine. I often think of those who have nothing, who have to suffer every day, so a winner, a game, set, match will never give me immense joy, only satisfaction.
I'm not studious at all. I'm really far from that. I have been better at everything else. I find school terribly tiresome and boring.
Me, I don't want to put the pressure on myself.
I think there are still better players than me.
