[Sister Venus said] every single thing ... I guess not every single thing, but at least on the tennis court - a lot of what she does, when she gives her best, for sure. |
All my life I've kinda dreamed of being the best, and doing the best, and it hasn't always been easy for me. So I've been trying, but it's really special to have come such a long way, it's just really fulfilling. And the fact that I'm just making history right now and the fact that I was able to win four in a row, it doesn't happen every day. |
Ankle's good, but I'm just dealing with some issues with my knee because of my ankle, ... Since it went bad, my ankle, my knee got a little weak. Well, weaker than it has been in the past...I was so angry (during the match), I just wanted to crack every racket. But I didn't do it. That's a plus...I wasn't even moving to any balls. I have tomorrow off so maybe that can help but I'll have to see what my therapist says. |
As a fan of 'Street Time,' I told myself that if given the opportunity, I'd love to be on the show. I am taking this role very seriously, because I want to excel and because I have respect for the series. |
Because of my ankle injury I had to take some time off so my leg isn't as strong as it needs to be, ... So the pain in my knee is a result of that. |

Everyone chokes. I choked today. I didn't do what I needed to do. Li played some great shots. |
Everyone talks about the Russians, I always thought the Chinese have a great slew of players coming up. Not only are they in the draw, but they're actually doing well. |
Everyone's a threat. But I'm real serious. I'm here to be a threat as well. |
Family's first, and that's what matters most. We realize that our love goes deeper than the tennis game. |
fits my personality. It's young, colorful, funky, cool — it's a great fit for me. |
For the younger sisters, we always look up to the older sisters because they're always ahead of us and they always win. |
Growing up we had a lot of insecurities. Even now we still have so many insecurities. It's not like we're perfect. That's why we wanted to get together and write a book for teenagers who deal with the same issues. [We wanted] to let them know that celebrities and stars, not only just us, but everyone has these issues as well. |
Honestly, I began to think, 'OK, well, I'm not going to go for the lines, I'm not going to go for my shots. |
