Elimination race is my thing. I really enjoy that event.

Even with not having that many matches under my belt, I handled the match against Svitolina well. When I was younger, not having that many matches under my belt, I might not have done that.

I think for me, the most fun competition that I've had was my first Worlds.

I'm a prideful person when it comes to competition.

I've dominated past competitions, but I've sweated blood and tears for every medal. I take nothing for granted, and I'm fully focused on doing my best.

I'm probably one of the most competitive people ever.

I'm the most competitive person you'll ever meet.

Each match I play is the most important one yet.

I've always been very competitive, and I've always had this desire to win my entire life. I guess when it comes to being in the cage, especially, I just hate losing more than I like to win. The idea of someone beating me just doesn't sit well.

My feelings, as the last ball travelled over the net, and as I realized that the final match was mine, I cannot describe. I felt that here was a prize for all the games I had ever played.
