I Was Labeled At A Young Age

Once You've Been Number One, You Can Never Be Satisfied With Less.

If You Can React The Same Way To Winning And Losing, That's A Big Accomplishment. That Quality Is Important Because It Stays With You The Rest Of Your Life, And There's Going To Be A Life After Tennis That's A Lot Longer Than Your Tennis Life.

Competitive Toughness Is An Acquired Skill And Not An Inherited Gift.

To Be A Tennis Champion, You Have To Be Inflexible. You Have To Be Stubborn. You Have To Be Arrogant. You Have To Be Selfish And Self-absorbed. Kind Of Tunnel Vision Almost.

I Was Very, Very Shy As A Younger Girl, Just Petrified Of People. Tennis Helped Give Me An Identity And Made Me Feel Like Somebody.
