[On a strained relationship between a tennis champion and her mother:] There comes a time when it's probably not cool for your mom to be your best friend.

Nobody wants to go through divorce, especially when there's young children involved.

I don't think I should be underestimated.

You work your whole life to try to be the best you can, even if it's for only one day or one week.

They don't give gold bracelets for regrets.

I'm sure I'm very difficult to live with because of my make-up and personality.
