“My long-term goal is to become the world number one player.”
“I have learnt many things, but there's more to learn. Every day is a new start.”
“I love to experiment with my looks and dresses on and off the court because I love to turn out very well. But, I must add here that just good-looking athletes can't do anything for their sport.”
“I love dressing up, and I'm aware that people do say that it can take your attention away from the game. But I disagree with this notion!”
“I was lucky to get good coaches and infrastructure that I needed. To become a champion, it is not just a few months' practice: it takes years to make a champion.”

“We need to be always prepared for every match.”
“I am really lucky that I got such good coaches and everything I wanted, right from the infrastructure to proper coaching.”

“Fitness is the key. You need to have strokes and stamina and agility; you need to exercise really well. On-court and off-court are equally important.”
“I have no tension. I only play to give my best.”
“While I am training, I don't go out for events, so rest days, in a way, take away that time. Apart from that, I just stay at home and rest, maybe relax at home and spend time with family.”
“Life has changed both on and off the court after the Rio Olympics medal. I have a lot of confidence on the court now and feel anything is possible. I also feel that I have improved my game. Off the court, I do get recognised more now.”
“Injuries are part of life. We can't decide on that.”
“The competition is tough at the international level. There are very good players.”
“I am thankful to my parents. They have done many sacrifices.”
“I just can't do without music.”
“In my early years, I would travel 56 km. from home to the training institute and back every single day.”
“A small cold and cough can actually stop you from going where you are.”
