“I'm just going to have to keep working on what I have to and keep chasing my goals.”
“There is no shortcuts. Play your best tennis, give your heart out, and anything can happen.”
“I think tennis was just in my genes.”
“I believe in my abilities, as when I get things right, things happen for me.”
“After Wimbledon is one of the only times you can take time for yourself.”
“I like to stay away from that red carpet world unless I absolutely have to do it. I'd rather put on my Tom Ford suit and take a few pictures at home.”
“One tournament can change everything for you. You never know when that tournament might be.”
“Of course there is a lot of things you can work on and change and all that, but first I think you should look at yourself before you actually start trying to find excuse in the other people, whether it's going to be coach, physio, family, or whoever else is on your side.”
“I believe that if you feel good and if you look good when you're playing, it can give you the extra edge that you might need.”
“It would be difficult to pick out one shot as my main strength, as I like all my shots, and I can do anything on any surface.”
“I can play on grass - when I won Junior Wimbledon, that was an unbelievable feeling, I could not believe that I had won the tournament, as Wimbledon is like the holy place of tennis.”
“There is always a dream, for me, in the locker room before matches as well during the day. If you have a strong mind, a strong tendency to keep you strong, I think your dream is coming.”
“I think, losses, I think they teach you the most, but it's tough. I'm not gonna lie. It sucks. It's terrible. You can't sleep for two days.”
“I've always been a fighter. I can get pretty feisty sometimes.”
“I love design; to create stuff from ground zero is the best for me. I'm always so intense when I talk about that.”
“I think the first step is definitely Top 5. From there, you can sort of see the end, and that's the top. In order to do that, you need to win Slams and big tournaments. That's just proven. There is no other way.”
“I think when I was younger, I was struggling to kind of differentiating love from a personal love or a tennis love or whatever else. There was time that I wasn't sure how to deal with both things in the same time. But you learn. I guess we grow. I mean, I don't want to say I've learned from my mistakes, but I've learned myself a little bit better.”
“My favourite designer was Alexander McQueen. His lines were different every time.”
“I especially like Lanvin.”
“The negative talk, everything that has been coming my way, I don't care about it.”
