“To me, self-confidence means courage, among other things. Courage in trying new things and not giving up even after making a mistake, courage in being sensitive and expressing emotions. There are no rules in a game.”

“I love playing in stadiums, especially when I win, and I love the support I get from people.”

“Even though so much has changed in my life, I feel like I've stayed the same person.”

“When I look back at everything I've been through, I appreciate even more what I've achieved.”

“I would encourage people to be more thoughtful when they comment on the Internet.”

“I'm happy that we can play a final against the top players. It shows consistency. For sure it's going to be a challenge, whoever it's going to be, and a tough match. I will be ready. I will focus on myself.”

“I'm trying to be the best kind of person and player as possible.”

“When I won Roland-Garros I was 19, and that's a period of life when you learn a lot about yourself even when you're not an athlete.”

“Usually when I'm coming back, I have some kind of a plan, and I know what to change.”

“I never liked to close myself within certain limits, I wanted to base my beliefs and experiences, my intuition.”

“I don't know everything about sports and about myself.”

“I won against some of the great players. That can really, like, mess with the head sometimes.”

“When I was younger it was really hard to open up, to talk about what I want to do, what I want to achieve, how I feel. When I started doing that I felt I could truly work on myself and I became a much better person.”

“I mean, tennis is stressful overall, but I should embrace it a little bit more.”

“I'm very excited to be the first female player to join with On, and truly thrilled how On's Lightning innovation team works and adapts technologies to meet the demands of athletes, supporting their careers.”

“We are always giving 100% of what we can do every day. It's kind of sad for me to see that people I work with and myself, we are really judged. I would really encourage people to be more thoughtful and to also focus on the positive side of what we're doing.”

“I need to feel comfortable and powerful, and this is something On achieved for me.”

“We should all focus on the process and giving 100%, no matter what you can give, because every day is different.”

“There is always going to be pressure, especially when you're number one and so expectations are high, but I wouldn't say these expectations from the outside are the ones that are bothering me.”

“Every year it's easier for me to adapt to grass.”
