“If I can create something that allows a woman to feel better – that is the true reward.”

Sugar free? With the name Sugarpova I don’t think I will be doing anything sugar free very soon.

There are days when I go out on the court and I feel like I can’t miss a ball.

After being on the court for six hours, being on TV is very glamorous and fun for me. But tennis is always going to be my priority. It’s not going to be this thing when all of a sudden TV will get in the way of that.
