When I was growing up, I was watching Steffi... she taught me, actually, that I'm on a good way and try to believe in myself.

For me, it's important to have a team and coach and manager that I know, and they know me, so they are not coming to me with everything.

Just having what's important, to have people around you to support and take care of you. That's the most important thing when you are a professional athlete.

I won my second Grand Slam in one year. That is the best year in my career.

I spent a great deal of my career willingly ignoring the fact that people are participating in it, because it allows me to function without second-guessing it, without thinking, 'Oh, I wonder what people are gonna think of this,' or, 'I wonder what people aren't gonna think of this.'

I am an entrepreneur, but not in the conventional sense. I have learnt business as time passed, but I do not have a B-school education.

I'm trying to just take things as they come, not to try to expect too much, just do my job and hope things work out.

I can't tell you how freeing it is to have my own label. For the first time in my career, I have total control.
