I was talking to my mom one time, like, “Gosh, I’m 30.” And she’s like, “In your thirties you’re even stronger than in your twenties.” I didn’t believe her, but I have played better in my thirties.
I’m not taking Zika lightly. Especially being older, I definitely am going everywhere protected. I’m protecting myself.
I never thought about leaving a tennis legacy. I always thought about leaving a legacy of fulfillment, living out your dreams, and giving back.
Who says that your thirties is when you’re supposed to be done? I would like to know who made that rule!
I’m not one to blame anyone else for anything. And I don’t think anyone else should either.
I definitely want to have kids one day. That’s something I’ve always wanted since as long as I could remember. And the older I get, the more I’m like, “I’m too young!”
My coach has said to me, “When you win a match or a tournament, you don’t even think about it – the very next minute you’re like”.
I try not to be protected. Because I feel like you can become a little bit of a robot. That’s not who I am. And I don’t want to be monotone. It’s important to be yourself, whatever the cost.
I always ask my dad, ‘Why wasn’t I a lefty?’ Even when I was younger I wanted to be lefty. I could have been really good.
I’ve been getting my reel together. I think they are looking at me more as an actress because I have a lot of potential and a lot of skills.
I’ve developed a karaoke habit. I’ve become a crooner.
I’m currently writing a screenplay that I haven’t started yet.
Hopefully, we can build a rivalry and we’ll be able to do this a lot. Make a legacy, then retire champions.
I’m so frugal, you wouldn’t believe it.
It’s a lot of bling to play with. You got to have the bling.
I am basically a blazer. If I were a clothing item, I would be a legging and a blazer.
I don’t want to be like some of those celebrities walking around, just so full of themselves. I always want to be down-to-earth, want to be a person like when you meet them, they’re the same person that you think of them in the article or something.
To this day, I don’t love my arms. People want more fit arms, but my arms are too fit. But I’m not complaining. They pay my bills.
I just could never have imagined that I would be mentioned with Chris Evert or with Martina Navratilova, because I was just a kid with a dream and a racquet. Living in Compton, this never happened before.
I’m really super feminine, and I’m really soft. I’m very sensitive, I realized.
