I just happen to be a woman and involved in sport, but that doesn't necessarily make me a feminist.

I am here to play women's tennis. I'm a lady. Predominantly, most of the time I always like to play ladies.

I think we're actually the only sport that has a mix of men and women competing together. The majority of other sports are separated by gender.

In the men's game, there are three, four, five dominant players who pretty much win everything, but in the women's, anyone can.

For all intents and purposes, I'm a woman.

I'm a woman, so I'm going to be woman as much as I can.

There's no doubt about it that my participation in sports allowed me to compete in the business world in a very gender-neutral way.

It's something that can get overwhelming and frustrating, the sexism I experience in my career. It's just obviously a big issue in women's sport, like salaries, media coverage, just general things that you have to cope with in your career.

It is incredible how far women have come and women in sports have come.

It's really important for cycling and for women to be on a sporting stage which is in the mainstream and across the board, not just my own sport.
