I love Dennis Quaid! I don't know why, but I've loved him forever.
I'm one of those people who writes out words. All of my text messages? You can read them. Everyone would know what I'm trying to say. My sister will say 'BTW.' Do you mean 'by the way'? Is that what you're trying to say?
I think when it's a high-stress situation, my tennis definitely takes a big dip.
One night I couldn't sleep at three in the morning and I thought, I'm going to color-coordinate my closet. And I did. There's a whole system. It goes from white to black and then all the colors in the middle. Then it goes by tank tops to T-shirts to long sleeves, and then it goes to the next color. Then it goes to sweaters the same way.
Sometimes you have to give yourself a break.
People aren't winning Slams at 21 anymore. It's later.
I loved dance, but tennis felt more natural to me. Dance did help with my rhythm and balance.
I try to live in the moment and not overthink things because then you start putting yourself in situations that you don't want to be in pressure-wise.
A lot of people just assume men's tennis is better.
I make a little goal every day and work toward achieving it - even if it's the smallest little thing.
On those days when you don't want to get up, I think, I'm going to get through my entire practice without saying how tired I am or I try not to complain just because I was in a bad mood when I woke up. Even if it's not perfect and I slip up, I can catch myself and make myself of aware of where my mental space is at and move on.
I enjoy lifting weights more than I enjoy getting on the treadmill to run.
I've always loved Charleston. It's always been one of my favorite tournaments.
People always look shocked when I tell them the Cincinnati Open is one of my favorite tournaments.
You can get eight thousand great, amazing messages, and someone will send you one thing that you're maybe self-conscious about, and that's the only thing in your head for the rest of the day.
I have one of those bodies that is just a little more injury-prone.
I'm really lucky to have Lindsay Davenport as my coach. She was number one in the world, and she's won Grand Slams, so if there's any person who can help me get through, it's her. Getting her advice is very special for me.
I expect a lot for myself.
I want to be a role model for all young people.
When people say that American tennis is dead and things like that, you kind of take it a little personal.
