I'm this overachiever type, I'll just work and work and I'll just do it over and over and over again.

Most definitely always been a passion, and always been one of my goals in life as a young person, to have my own business. My dad gave us his entrepreneurial mindset, so that was also ingrained, as well as the tennis. So in a lot of ways it's a part of making my parents proud. I think we all want to make our parents proud, you know?

I know I'm good at tennis. Other than that, everything else is a wild card. I'm a wild card.

I am someone who likes to stay positive.

I think business is the same as tennis. You have to have the love, that helps, or else it's just too much pressure to be able to keep up with.

To be a well-rounded person and know what's going on in the world around you, to have a perspective outside of your sport, is important for every athlete. I'm blessed that our parents gave us that.

The thing about tennis is if you stay off for two weeks, or just for three days, you can lose your rhythm quickly. So it's just a question of constant diligence and vigilance.

If you're not a competitor, you've just got to go home.

I don't want to give anyone an edge in my mind. Every time I walk out on the court, I have to feel I'm the best so I can compete well. A lot of times, my chief rival is just me.

My parents always told us, you know, you have to get your education. You're not supposed to become a statistic.
