Every Olympics is something special. If you're fortunate enough to play for your country - there's just so much energy. It's truly amazing.

Chiropractic gives me the flexibility I need to keep in the game.

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.

When you lose, you're more motivated. When you win, you fail to see your mistakes and probably no one can tell you anything.

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

Just always believe in yourself. Champions adjust. It's a line I learned from Billie Jean King, and sometimes your dream adjusts. Be willing to adjust with it and see where your opportunities ... sometimes a door closes but a window opens, so just follow your dreams and continue. You never know where it's going to take you.

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.

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.

Tennis is mostly mental. You win or lose the match before you even go out there.

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.

'Oh and Oh' is a tennis term... It's a nice way of saying you took your opponent to pieces.
