Heather Watson

“If you don't feel hunger, you don't succeed at anything.”

“For me, Wimbledon is such a special tournament. I feel at home when I play there, and the grass is perfect.”

“With tennis, no one's going to give it to you. You have to be determined.”

“Every draw's a tough draw.”

“You don't just have to be skilled and talented at tennis, but you have to be so physically strong.”

“I think I'm realising that careers for tennis players are very short. On the women's side now, players are starting to peak later on, but the average age is about 31, 32 when you finish playing, so I want to make the most of it while I'm young, fit, and healthy. I don't want to waste any time.”

“I've learned that I can compete at the top level.”

“Winning titles is a big thing for me.”

“I'm trying to be a complete player and have every shot in the game.”

“Even with not having that many matches under my belt, I handled the match against Svitolina well. When I was younger, not having that many matches under my belt, I might not have done that.”

“There's always going to be people saying stuff.”

“At the end of the day, it's just a tennis match. It's not the end of the world.”

“In the men's game, there are three, four, five dominant players who pretty much win everything, but in the women's, anyone can.”

“I'm working on staying aggressive in my game and fixing all the little details.”

“That winning feeling, it's great.”

“I've learnt I can compete with the best in the world.”

“I know lots of people who climb very high in the rankings without winning a single title.”

“People ranked No. 80 or No. 90 in the world are tough to play.”

“I did everything - swimming, dancing, and badminton as well as tennis. It was always tennis that I really loved, though.”

“I just need to improve.”
