Serbian history tells that family is the most important thing and you have to stick with the family.

The way I hold the club, I've got my hand way over, like I'm driving a motorcycle. My Kawasaki grip.

I am going to hold serve the majority of the time. It is nice to have a little time to return serve.

I was always a player who has ups and downs. I could play unbelievable, and I could lose to someone.

I have always tried to avoid regrets. Could I have done differently some things in my career? Maybe.

Early in my career, I struggled with consistency, but I couldn't get more consistent than this year.

I feel that everything I dreamed of became reality. I feel like nothing is on my shoulders any more.

If you've worked over all of your drawing, it should finish itself - often when you least expect it.

My family is the most important thing to me because they're always there for me when times are down.

When I play my match, I can't think about anything else except what I'm doing on my side of the net.

Trying your best is bringing your best... that's the way to do it! Desire and passion is everything.

I have a lot of hair, and it's quite heavy: Sometimes I'll braid it for a match so it's all together.

I think most players would love, at one stage in their career, to say, 'I've been No. 1 in the world.

Tennis is more than just a sport. It's an art, like the ballet. Or like a performance in the theater.

Champions take responsibility. When the ball is coming over the net, you can be sure I want the ball.

If I win several tournaments in a row, I get so confident I'm in a cloud. A loss gets me eager again.

I don't like losing. I like winning. I don't like to lose beautiful matches. I like to win ugly ones.

When you're young, you don't know what you don't know, so it's easier to get into that magical thing.

The reason I didn't take the baseball route is because they don't have rankings for baseball players.

I hate to lose more than I like to win. I hate to see the happiness on their faces when they beat me!

I am finicky about making sure my sneakers are pretty tight. It is almost like a superstition for me.

I was actually really happy with where my game was at. That's probably the most disappointing aspect.

I don't think there's any dearth of talent in India - we've always had the best juniors in the world.

I could go and make commercials left and right and pretend like I am a celebrity, but that is not me.

All in all, I think Kazan is Russia's sportiest city after Moscow, leaving all the others far behind.

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

Gender is irrelevant. Certainly the tennis ball doesn't know what the gender was of the tennis coach.

Borrowers will default. Markets will collapse. Gold (the ultimate form of safe money) will skyrocket.

If I find the person that I love, it is because I love them, not because I will be dependent on them.

I call tennis the McDonald's of sport - you go in, they make a quick buck out of you, and you're out.

I've always tried to be the same person I was before I won Wimbledon, but it has been very difficult.

I used to do a lot of video analysis early on, but more for pleasure and looking at my own technique.

If you can keep playing tennis when somebody is shooting a gun down the street, that's concentration.

I think it is good to grow up on a farm, with nature, with animals and everything when you are young.

Sometimes I wish I could have been a bit more relaxed, but then I wouldn't have been the same player.

I was so tired of playing tennis, so tired of traveling, of hotels, everything related to this sport.

If I could have played my whole career on one court it would have been the Centre Court at Wimbledon.

We don't talk about tennis. I figure she knows what she's doing. I mean, what am I going to tell her?

I'm this overachiever type, I'll just work and work and I'll just do it over and over and over again.

When I'm very motivated, and when I have to compete, I change a little bit; I become very competitive.

I'm going to go down swinging... I'm sure as heck not going to go home and say I had a bad tournament.

Tennis is a perfect combination of violent action taking place in an atmosphere of total tranquillity.

This Martina Navratilova is a real champion, but with the proper training, I can make miracles happen.

I drew my strength from fear. Fear of losing. I don't remember the games I won, only the games I lost.

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

It's always been a thing. Like, I don't touch my belly button. That's something nobody knows about me.

You've got to take the initiative and play your game. In a decisive set, confidence is the difference.

I started when I was six years old. My first coach was my granny, she was the best player in Slovakia.

I'm visiting my high school. Every half year I do the exams, and then this year I'm going to graduate.

A woman needs to enjoy life a little bit more. Needs to think about family, needs to think about kids.
