Grass is a surface I have always loved, Wimbledon is a tournament I have always loved.

My big dream was to work as a photographer for 'National Geographic.'

I never hanker after the past -- I prefer to devote myself to new tasks.

I knew that maybe I couldn't be playing again, but I just wanted to get in physical shape.

I don't wake up every day and think about which tournaments I won and which titles I hold. It's something I don't care about.

It shifted attention away from that and I've never been someone who liked the attention from the media anyway.

If you go to a big city anywhere in the world and you need a doctor, just ask me. I can tell you who's good and who's bad. I've even considered writing a guidebook.

You can't measure success if you have never failed.

As long as I can focus on enjoying what I'm doing, having fun, I know I'll play well.

I still take it seriously, but once I go out there I think I've got more relaxed and I think it shows.

There is no relief at it being over. There is the joy of winning it.

Tennis has always been a big challenge to me and to be able to play that kind of tennis -- well, only tennis can produce these feelings for me.

You cannot compare your athletic achievement to the importance of children and giving them a safe environment in which to grow up and enjoy life.

You can have a certain arrogance, and I think that's fine, but what you should never lose is the respect for the others.

I don't like the word 'businesswoman.' Perhaps 'committed mother' would be the best description.

I've thrown away lots of my old diaries -- you never know who might get their hands on them. But I have kept a few notes on the good old days.

It's so difficult to find time besides the tennis.

I am a person who sticks to her word.

Age, what is it? It's not a figure that has ever meant anything to me.

I suppose it's amazing how quick life goes by when you have children.
