Sometimes you can really serve well and win the match because of the serve. I have the opposite thing now, so it's kind of hard. I can just really play with my forehand and backhand.

I always had a powerful serve. It's one of the best in women's tennis. It's very good to have a weapon like that.

The serve, I was too young and too small and... not enough powerful to have a good serve when I was young, so my forehand was always my signature shot. So I used to always run around my backhand, you know, use my forehand as much as I could, and so that's why I think it's my strength also today, you know.

There are many ways to serve.

My serve can get better, for sure. It's not just about serving bombs, but positioning, variation in speed, in spin.

I think I have a lot of room for improvement. My serve is okay, but I need to work on a lot of things: return, transition game, backhand.

My serve and my forehand I pretty much always had, but my backhand was a made backhand. I worked on it for years.

If you serve well, your volleys are going to be so much easier. It has got to do with confidence, obviously.

Well, I like to - the game of serve and volley, but it's very tough, you know, against the best players because they return so good and their passing shots are really good. So it's really tough to get there with those players.

I am going to hold serve the majority of the time. It is nice to have a little time to return serve.
