It's always hot in Australia.
-
We have a good relationship, but she is completely different than me. My sister, she is not sporty at all.
-
Of course it's tough to reach the number one place and also winning grand slams.
-
Just follow your dreams and be patient.
-
I've had many ups and downs before, and I think it's always darkest before dawn.
-
My game was always about good defence.
-
Germany is, of course, my country.
-
I feel German, that's for sure. I grew up in Germany, I went to school in Germany and most of my friends are there. I play for Germany.
-
Everybody loves Wimbledon, with all the tradition and everything else.
-
The hard work pays off.
-
Winning the second grand slam, it was a bit different. I don't have anything to prove anymore. I am at the top: number one.
-
I just remember celebrating my 18th birthday at home, so that was a big party.
-
When I was growing up, I was watching Steffi... she taught me, actually, that I'm on a good way and try to believe in myself.
-
It's not like the world No.1 spot is always in my mind.
-
I think the message from me is that you can work very hard, and someday, the work will pay off.
-
Now I can say I'm a Grand Slam champion, and it sounds really crazy.
-
The Germans must be together.
-
I'm one of the best players in the world. I think I can be proud about this.
-
Patience, discipline - giving everything on court... This is what I'm trying to bring in every single match.
-
I knew that I have the game to beat the best players.
-
I just go out and play my best tennis.
-
The ranking... it's just a number.
-
It's a new situation. Of course, you have always the goal for years to go there and to reach the top, but then if you are there, you actually don't know what to expect.
-
If the day ever comes when I am world No. 1, then great, but for me, the biggest dream was to win a slam, and I did it.
