Once you step on the court, you see the crowd, you see the final, you see I'm here playing another Wimbledon final.

I don't know a lot of people who achieve what they have really dreamed of as a little girl.

I have routines but not superstitions.

When a kid comes next to you, and she's like 'Ooh, one day I want to be like you!' you're like 'Wow, that's so nice to hear!'

To be able to make other girls play - and hopefully in Latin America as well - is very important to me.

For me, it has an extra value to be able to beat the Williams sisters in the finals, because they are just so good. For me, it's proof of being literally the best player in the tournament.

It is a time for women's tennis to return to the light, as it were, and be on a par with men's tennis, which is at a very high level.

To have Serena in the Wimbledon final, I think, is the hardest match you can have.

If you want to win a Grand Slam, when you dream, you say, 'I want Serena in the final.'

The problem we have in the WTA circuit is that the girls do not have a good relationship because we play against each other, and it's a sport.

I always travel with my coach and with my physio. And then when I'm in Europe, my parents, maybe they come to events.

When I was young, I looked up to Martina Hingis.

I always come very motivated to the Grand Slams.

Is very hard to find, like, a recipe to feel good fitness-wise, tennistically, mentally.

I'm happy that once again I see myself winning a Grand Slam, something that is so hard to do.

If I lose the first set, I still have two more. Let's not make a drama, you know.

I adapt more to the match for the second set.

All I want is to win matches, and the ranking sooner or later will come.

I try to focus on more winning matches here and try to go forward rather than the ranking because is the first step, to win matches, getting far in tournament, and we see after.

You can have a couple of games where you play bad or very good. I think I'm a type of player that days before I know how I feel, if I'm playing good, if I'm playing bad. This is not like lottery here.

I like to dance to Latin music, like salsa, like reggaeton.

My father is Spanish, and he went to Venezuela looking for a job. He was 20 something, and he fell in love with a Venezuelan girl. He owns a company there, producing iron and bronze.

When I came to Spain, I joined a tennis academy, and that was where I learnt the game.

It's true that my body's not small and my style is not defensive. I am aggressive, and I am tall.

I couldn't be accepted into tennis school because I was too young. I had to wait a year until I was four before they'd accept me.

The first tournament I ever played, I won. I was six years old.

This is just a 'Boom!' of energy for me to win a Grand Slam.

I prefer to be hunted compared to the other way around... I don't know how you say it.

When you're a kid and practice on clay, you're always, 'Oh, I wish I could win Roland Garros.'

I grew up, and my body was not like a Spanish player. I was tall. I had a powerful game; my arms were long, so I'm like, 'No, you can't play like Spanish players.'

There's no room for being disappointed or for excuses, 'Oh, I had four match points.'

I was like, 'Did I win Roland Garros? What happened?'

I didn't do anything special after the French Open, after winning the tournament. I just had a nice dinner with my team and family, but I was so exhausted that I went to sleep early and couldn't stay up.

I've said before that when you win, people think it's so easy, but it's not so easy to handle it, and probably I expect myself to always play so good.

After you win, people expect you to always play so good. When that doesn't happen, it's hard to deal with.

When you win, everything is so beautiful, and when you don't, it's not, so everything is darker.

It is hard because I have played since I was three years old, and everything is tennis, tennis. I am super-passionate about it. And I love it. But I always like to cook, I listen to music. I just try to be like a regular girl.

Tennis is what I've always wanted to do, so it is my dream to be on top.

I learned that if you want something, you've got to really go for it, try to put the nerves aside.

New York is a very tricky city. I find it very noisy. It's a jungle, and it's very stressful at times, but I'm ready for it.

I like to have bright colors and to feel feminine on the court.

If we push for the children to know tennis, they have the chance to like it.

I love to play, and I love what it brings to me. It's such a healthy life, and to me, it means everything.

I take every match as a final. It's very important.

I think my style of game is aggressive.

With the time, as I was growing up and I got taller and my arms were longer, I developed this aggressive style because I think it was better for me, for my style of game.

I'm not afraid to do long rallies. I like that.

I'm not afraid of playing somebody that is playing good.

I think every player dreams to be No. 1 at some point.

In Spain, if you don't follow football, you're dead. You don't have conversation.
