I think the whole boycott thing was a bit too much. It's because we're accomplished so much in women's tennis in the last two, three years. We deserve something better.

The first point is always to believe in it when you go on court and then you have the chances to win.

I grew up on the tennis court with lots of other kids. There were like 40 kids all afternoon and I was one of the youngest ones, so I always had to chase everybody to keep up.

I'm not saying I'm something special. I might play a little better tennis than other people, but it is because I was given the chance, and not many people are.

Right now I like baseball, hockey and tennis players. And horseback riders.

Honestly, I'm more into the computer, the Internet, and checking out scores or the news.

The game overall has gotten so much better, stronger, more physical parts to the game.

Sometimes I wouldn't give an interview because I didn't have the time or something else was more important. So they come up with a story which I don't think is always true, but they have to sell papers.

I don't think it's a low point being in the finals of the French Open, three points away from the victory.

I didn't have the same fitness or ability as the other girls, so I had to beat them with my mind.

I was always at peace because of the way my mom treated me.

I'm glad you're doing this story on us and not on the WNBA. We're so much prettier than all the other women in sports.

The older you get, the more you learn.

Now that I beat Lindsay I feel much better.

Any tournament you go to, you want to win it.

I still speak Czech with my parents because I was born there.

No, because I think I have a reason to believe in myself and I think I'm also pretty confident about who I am and what I'm doing and it might be because I'm still at the top too.

I have good anticipation, and good reaction to the the ball because I've played so many matches in my life.

The top players talk more now, and we have more meetings. We're just trying to get things better. But we still need somebody who could make a difference.

He is still my father. He is still a person I know I could trust and he would never do anything against me. Once you're at the top, there are not many people like that. People always want something from you.

When I was 4 my mother got divorced and we were very close to each other. I always wanted to be with her. She took me everywhere. When she went for dinner with friends or when they had meetings at the tennis club, I was always there.

That's one of the reasons I moved to Florida. Of course, the main reason is the weather and the training. But there's more jealousy in Switzerland because it's so little and they don't have so many athletes.

I always give Lindsay so much credit for her tennis game, for her attitude, for her person, and because of how she deals with all the things. I don't think people give her enough credit for how well she's doing.

Well, maybe at home I don't have the best image.

We had a poster of the Davis Cup in 1986. It was in Prague, the Czech Republic against Sweden, and we went to watch, so I got the poster. You couldn't get all the posters. You were lucky if you got one.

I've lived for 10 years in Switzerland, so I speak German.

Sometimes you want to make your own experiences.

I think the whole boycott thing was a bit too much. It's because we're accomplished so much in women's tennis in the last two, three years. We deserve something better.

If Davis Cup was a little bit less or once every two years, I would be more inclined to play. But the way it is now, it is too much tennis for me.

I would like to see it go back to the wood racquets. To see the touch put back in tennis.

It's true I always try to be as seductive as possible but I wouldn't be here if I couldn't play tennis.

Golfers are forever working on mechanics. My tennis swing hasn't changed in 10 years.

When I was 12, every little girl in Russia was trying to wear her hair like mine and playing tennis.

What these guys are doing is great for Argentinean tennis. This is motivating other people.

I love to promote our sport. I love grass-roots tennis. I love coaching. I love all parts of the sport. I love the business side.

In tennis, you can make a couple of mistakes and still win. Not in golf. I played three rounds in that Tahoe event, and I was drained. Mentally, not physically.

We are merely the stars tennis-balls, struck and bandied which way please them.

I used to be told if I talked about my sexuality in any way that we wouldn't have a tennis tour.

What I want out of tennis is not necessarily just winning.

I've been playing tennis, and just whatever sport is in front of me I will do.

Tennis and golf are best played, not watched.

Yeah, I think there are many other important things in life, not just tennis.

My father actually moved out from Chicago just so he could play tennis 365 days a year, so it was - it was a place we played every day. We played before school. We played after school. We woke up. We played tennis. We brushed our teeth in that order.

The tennis wasn't really very much on my mind, so it wasn't like I was thinking about it all the time.

No, like I said, my dad was never really part of the tennis. His involvement around what I did with the tennis and with my mom and my grandparents was really not a part of my life.

Safin, in his way, is very talented. It is a joy to watch them play; it is tennis of a very high quality.

To meet my goals, I couldn't let up when I was playing tennis.

Both of us played basketball, and I played tennis and my knees are done. Now if you ask us head-to-head who wins at golf, I'm asking for a couple of strokes.

It was very hard for me to practice and enjoy my tennis, and I didn't know the why, so I worked with psychologists to try and see what was happening. They pushed me really hard.
