“My family and I built my whole career from scratch.”

I’m just a very tough person when I go on the court, and I really don’t want to lose.

If I loved a guy as much as I love my dog, the guy would be in serious trouble because I’m all over that dog, all of the time.

Through my travels, I find inspiration in street style and how young women create their individual looks and identity.

I’m never standing still and that makes my life pretty exciting.

My shoulder’s not where I want it to be, but I’m doing a good job of monitoring it.

I’m not the next anyone, I’m the first Maria Sharapova.

I have always had an interest in fashion and design and I appreciate style and timelessness within my footwear and accessories both on and off the court

I’m always on the go. I love doing things until I hit rock bottom. Then I need my 12 hours of sleep, and I’m on the go again.

I love what I do and I love being an athlete, but I also love all the things that have come with it.

Maybe if I was British, a semi-final would be incredible. I’d be on the front page of the paper.

I love playing for my country, getting the support. Especially for the kids and everybody, showing my example of what I can achieve so early. And maybe they can achieve it, too, just to get that in their minds.

I’m an athlete. I go out there and fight my heart out.

Well, fans always root for the underdog.

I owe a lot to my parents.

I love jotting down ideas for my blog, so I doodle or take notes on all kinds of stuff that inspires me: the people I meet, boutiques I visit, a florist that just gave me a great idea for an interior-design project, things like that.

We all started under the sun and finished under the lights.

Remember, don’t try to build the greatest wall that’s ever been built. Focus on laying a single, expertly-placed brick. Then keep doing that, every day.

Keeping your mind Clear from doubts by building resilience is key to maintain your mental health!

It is easier to build a boy than to mend a man.

People don’t care about what someone says about you in a movie or even what you say, right? They care about what you build.

We must build back better than ever before.

Fear never builds the future – hope does.
