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.
-
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.
-
Germany is, of course, my country.
-
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.
-
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.
-
I just remember celebrating my 18th birthday at home, so that was a big party.
-
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.
-
I just go out and play my best tennis.
-
I'm one of the best players in the world. I think I can be proud about this.
-
The Germans must be together.
-
Now I can say I'm a Grand Slam champion, and it sounds really crazy.
-
I knew that I have the game to beat the best players.
-
Patience, discipline - giving everything on court... This is what I'm trying to bring in every single match.
-
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.
-
I'm ready for every single match every single day.
-
The ranking... it's just a number.
