I think it's great, I'm actually rooting for her - unless of course she plays me.
It could come very soon. All I can do is play to get to the fourth round. Venus and I just have to get there. No one gets me more motivated than Venus. She won Wimbledon and has five majors. I still have seven titles. So I have to stay ahead of her.
I had worn five carat diamond earrings at Wimbledon. But the earrings I had today were $40,000 earrings on loan and one fell out during the first set. New York and the U.S. Open are the biggest stages and I wanted to do something special. I love everything about the U.S. Open except the line calls.
I can't say I'm sad, ... I can't necessarily say I'm very disappointed.
I think that's definitely going to be the most exciting, ... One of us will be going to the quarters.
I don't think you realize, I have a fashion company,
I was fighting, and it was pretty much all I had, ... It didn't feel good, and I wasn't moving to any balls. I was trying to shorten points and just do what I could.
I wasn't used to the conditions and...I had to kind of gather myself. When I won the second set I was really relaxed and then I just got a little too anxious in the third and was missing a few shots.
I'm here to play female tennis. I've never been involved in men's tennis. . . . I wouldn't be tempted.
I've always enjoyed acting. When we were younger, my sisters and I would put on plays for our parents.
We don't have play time anymore because she's always on the computer. ... I'm like, 'Are you serious? Why don't you come to the pool?'
I disagree 100 percent with that, ... We've had some incredibly tough matches.
I think I actually made a very kind gesture out of nowhere, ... I just decided in the middle of the match, you know, for every ace I hit, I want to donate money, stuff like that. So I don't get that one.
I think I'm playing okay. I definitely think I'm getting better and better. My knee's definitely feeling a lot better.
