There aren't many woman coaches in general, and I actually think it's good to have a male coach. Guys and girls have different mentalities. Girls are so stressed about everything. Guys take everything much more lightly. That's great, and it's something we have to learn from. I think one woman on a team is enough!

Sometimes it just becomes so technical that you forget what you're doing. If you start thinking about how you come down the stairs and think about how each muscle is working, you can't go down the stairs.

I have a lot of hair, and it's quite heavy: Sometimes I'll braid it for a match so it's all together.

I lift weights. I'll do a lot of running, a lot of cardio and strengthening. I use my body weight, a TRX sometimes. A lot of it is endurance.

One of the downsides of the job is that I am travelling so much, and I don't have so much time to go out and socialise as people who have a more traditional job might do, so it's hard.
-
I'm very determined, and I know I can achieve, so I don't let little setbacks put me down.

You're never out of the game until you've lost the final point.

I have a lot of belief in myself.

In cities like Miami, my hair can get so frizzy, it looks crazy. I use TRESemm Extra Hold hairspray. I use a lot of it.

My goal is to be No. 1 and to win Grand Slams.

I try not to think about the person, just their tactics, their weaknesses and strengths. I play against the ball.
