People Say I'm Around Because I Have

There Was Never Anything I Wanted To Do More Than Play Tennis. Never Once Walked Out There And Thought, 'i Wish I Was Doing Something Else.' Not Once.

I Was Raised By Two Women, And That Laid The Groundwork For The Way I Treat 'em: With The Utmost Respect And Admiration.

From Where We Lived, To Practise In St Louis Was An Hour-and-a-half Drive Each Way, So That Took A Lot Of The Time. So Really, Our Lives Just Took Different Paths.

That's Something A Lot Of Athletes Miss - A Lot Of Them Walk Away Too Soon. They Don't Get Everything Out Of Their System. They Have A Lot Of What-ifs When They're Sitting Around Later In Life. I Don't Have That. I Got All That Out Of My System. I Pushed It To The Brink, I Loved It, And When I Walked Away, I'd Had Enough.

I Like Any Title With The Letters U.s. In Front Of It. To Me, The U.s. Open Is The Most Important Tournament In The World.
