I always looked ahead.

Losing hurts me. I was determined to be the best.

If you can react the same way to winning and losing, that's a big accomplishment. That quality is important because it stays with you the rest of your life, and there's going to be a life after tennis that's a lot longer than your tennis life.

If you're a champion, you have to have it in your heart.
Chris Evert

I was very, very shy as a younger girl, just petrified of people. Tennis helped give me an identity and made me feel like somebody.

Every time, all the time, I'm a perfectionist. I feel I should never lose.
