Sometimes You Want To Make Your Own

One Day You Can Be A Kid, But Another Day You Have To Be Like This Is Your Job, You Play Tennis. You Have To Work For That.

Playing (serena) It Always Felt Like Playing A Steamroller. No Subtlety, No Finesse, Just Raw, Loud Power. To Respect This Style Of Play Was Always A Bit Tough For Me, But Of Course I Had To, Because The Rules Of Tennis Dont State That Having A Beautiful Game Is Required To Become No. 1.

I've Never Had Big Problems About Being Long On The Court. During The U.s. Open I Played Three Events (singles, Doubles, Mixed Doubles) And Some People Asked Me If I Want To Stay Overnight On The Court.

I Don't Think It's A Low Point Being In The Finals Of The French Open, Three Points Away From The Victory.

When I Was 4 My Mother Got Divorced And We Were Very Close To Each Other. I Always Wanted To Be With Her. She Took Me Everywhere. When She Went For Dinner With Friends Or When They Had Meetings At The Tennis Club, I Was Always There.
