“I think my father is probably the best coach ever because, if we talk about numbers, he’s got a lot and he’s only had two players.”

I’m thankful to my family, friends, and fans for all of their support.

No one likes getting their nails done more than I do.

I feel like I’m really young and I’m only thinking about my career and continuing playing.

I don’t like to lose-at anything… Yet I’ve grown most not from victories, but setbacks. If winning is God’s reward, then losing is how he teaches us.

I never thought about leaving a tennis legacy. I always thought about leaving a legacy of fulfillment, living out your dreams, and giving back.

I’m an athlete and I’m black, and a lot of black athletes go broke. I do not want to become a statistic, so maybe I overcompensate. But I’m paranoid. Oprah told me a long time ago, ‘You sign every check. Never let anyone sign any checks.’

My goal in a couple of years is to try to build a successful fashion house like Armani or Versace. I want that more than anything.

When you lose, you get up, you make it better, you TRY AGAIN.

You can be whatever size you are, and you can be beautiful both inside and out. We’re always told what’s beautiful and what’s not, and that’s not right.

My smile is my favorite part of my body. I think a smile can make your whole body.

Luck has nothing to do with it.

I’ve never felt invincible. I’ve never used that word to describe me ever.

I’m not used to crying. It’s a little difficult. All my life I’ve had to fight. It’s just another fight I’m going to have to learn how to win, that’s all. I’m just going to have to keep smiling.

I always say that when I’m playing well, no one can beat me. I’m not just saying that to sound full of myself or anything, but it’s true.

With my website, I’m really interactive. I’ve written a lot of things about me.

How many people yell at linespeople? I see it happening all the time. I don’t know how many times I have seen that happen.

I was glad my father was an eye-smiler. It meant he never gave me a fake smile because it’s impossible to make your eyes twinkle if you aren’t feeling twinkly yourself.

My father used to say that it’s never too late to do anything you wanted to do. And he said, ‘You never know what you can accomplish until you try.

Victory has a thousand fathers, but defeat is an orphan.

The support and guidance from my parents helped me become the person I am today.

Do not judge, do not condemn; forgive. And you will be merciful like the Father.

He will change diapers, of course he will. He is going to be a very hands-on father.

Few sons are like their fathers, most are worse, few better.

You don’t have to deserve your mother’s love. You have to deserve your father s. He’s more particular. The father is always a Republican towards his son, and his mother’s always a Democrat.
