“I'm really exciting. I smile a lot, I win a lot, and I'm really sexy.”
“I am not a robot. I have a heart and I bleed.”
“I'm definitely not a fearless individual.”
“What's going to make me happy is going on the court and holding up trophies, singles and doubles.”

“I want to be a giving woman and just a nice person in general.”
“If anything, you know, I think losing makes me even more motivated.”
