I start laughing every time because the media talks to me like I'm finishing my career and I only have one year left and time is running out.

I just go out there and fight for every point, and then we see how far I can go.

I'm just taking one match at a time.

There are so many tough opponents out there and tough competitors so I've never liked to look ahead.

I think that's my personality, to have a good laugh and not to take myself too seriously. And of course I have my things on the court but when I'm off the court I just like to have fun.

I don't know, I always get the question 'how do you feel after the game today?' and, of course, if you're winning you feel great and if you lose you don't feel good. I think that's a pretty obvious question.

My mom was always the support. I can always go out to her and she'll always find the positive in things.

My dad has always been my coach. And I've spent so much time with him. So he's one of my best friends. And I can talk to him about everything.

I have a very close relationship with my parents.

One day my dad would say, 'OK, if you want to play tennis I can help you out.' And that's how it started. And I had a goal. I wanted to beat my mom first. And my parents and my brother. And that was the ultimate goal.

You feel better about yourself when you do something with yourself. You also feel more confident.

I like to be with my friends and my family, listen to music and read books. Things like that relax me.

I have nothing to lose and think that it's a positive thing that I am young and playing on a good level.

To be the world No. 1 has always been a dream for me.

I feel like everything is possible.

I think I'm a really tough player.

I love winning. I don't like losing.

I really want to see New Zealand; it's a beautiful place.

I would want to bring up my children. Therefore, I have no dream to make my mark. Instead, I enjoy economic freedom my hard work has given me. It means that I can give my children the best start in life.

Every time I go out onto a tennis court, I know what to expect.

That's what I love about tennis: As an individual sport, you can't hide behind teammates.

I try to be myself and, of course, be a good role model. I don't really find it hard, but you think about what you do and that other people look up to you.

The only one I feel pressure from is myself to go and give my all for every match and, obviously, I'm a competitor.

Whether you're tall or shorter, or a little bigger, more curves, skinny - you just have to be proud of what you have, and everyone is beautiful.
