It's what I've trained for, from the first sketch to the fabric. Making dresses that are different from the usual style, and a lot of fun to wear.

I don't focus on what I'm up against. I focus on my goals and I try to ignore the rest.
Venus Williams

A win's a win, unless it is not a win, and then it's not a win.

Image
My goal is always the same: to keep the other player from ever scoring a point. That doesn't always happen, but that's what I try for.

There have been many frustrating games. I don't there's going to be another one that isn't frustrating. That happens, but that's sport. Otherwise why would there be so much glory in victory.

Serena and I, we don't have anything to prove ... we still set a very high standard.

I guess some kids around me had to grow up quickly, had all those problems. But I wasn't one of those kids, or around those kids, not at all.

Since I started playing at the Olympics in 2000, I have always wanted to do a dress based on Wonder Woman. It should be interesting to wear. And hopefully, it will get me a gold medal.

Losses have propelled me to even bigger places, so I understand the importance of losing. You can never get complacent because a loss is always around the corner. It's in any game that you're in - a business game or whatever - you can't get complacent.

It's easy to stand back, but to move forward and take a chance, that takes a little more guts, a little more courage.

If I go down, it's never easy. At least my opponent knows they have to go to the end of the earth to take me out no matter what the circumstances. I do try to compete. Even if it's not your best day, I just try to walk off the court knowing I gave 100,000 percent.

The big push for me is the Olympics this year. If I'm healthy, I'm not worried about my ranking. I think I can hit the ball. It's just about my body cooperating. It's about being able to play matches in a row. Right now, I'm not sure how much I can do with that, but we'll see.

The thing that's most important in getting you in the best mindest is just being prepared - having a great practice, and knowing that no matter what knowing you're going to go in with confidence. You need to have that confidence to power through.

For years I felt that I didn't have enough stamina and then, four years ago, I felt like I was not getting enough air but I was diagnosed with exercise-induced asthma. The medicine for asthma never worked.

Everybody's got their problems. The important thing is not to complain about it.

Tennis is a huge part of my life, but I don't base my self-value or my self-worth or the quality of my life on my results on the court.

There is nothing like playing at Wimbledon you can feel the footprints of the legends of the game-men and women-that have graced those courts.

In my mind, I'm always the best. If I walk out on the court (and) I think the next person is better, I've already lost.

We've been training and playing full-time since we were 18 and 19. So after tennis, we'll be excited to see what it's like to have more free time.
