I just try to stay positive and focused on the tennis, not let anything get to me, like crazy questions. But I'm tough, let me tell you, tough as nails.

I have a passion for playing tennis and enjoy the workload and struggles of performing in this amazing global sport.

I want my tennis to speak for everything.

I'm actually a pretty good tennis player!

Tennis is an individual sport, and I am quite a self-conscious person.

I'm really trying to focus myself on playing tennis, and I think that's really important.

It's important to understand that you have to dedicate time to your sponsors, to have relationships with the people and the media, but it is also hard when you are first coming up and your primary focus is on tennis.

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'm not to eager to play tennis in my spare time. I'm more interested in doing gym work and stuff like that. We have a lot of schools and courts around where I live, so if I really want to play, I don't need to go too far.

It's that I have a good personality and am a good tennis player.
