Confidence is almost everything for a player.
Everyone knows how to play tennis, but it's the mind that really controls everything.
For me, the sky's the limit.
I believe in myself, because I believe anything is possible.
I can remember watching other Canadians make their big breakouts and saying, 'Hey Mom, when is it going to happen for me?'
I didn't expect all of this success to come so quickly.
I don't like to look into the future. I just want to stay in the present moment.
I got a message from a little girl just saying that she's starting to play tennis because of me. That was pretty amazing.
I guess Auckland just brings the best out of me.
I have a lot of weakness in my core, so that's definitely something I'm improving on.
I learned how much determination I have and that no matter what the score is, anyone can come back.
I like to hit every shot in the book.
I never want to take anything for granted.
I think I have good hands, so I try to use them to my advantage.
I think I'm getting more and more experience playing on big stages, and I think that's going to help me with everything.
Seeing a lot of the younger players doing well gives me inspiration.
I've learned that I can be calm during important points.
I want to change the sport for the better. I want to do a lot for women's tennis.
I want to be an inspiration to as many people as I can.
There are ups and downs; that's part of tennis. But I'm up for the challenge.
The only pressure, I think, is the pressure I put on myself.
It's nice to let some anger out sometimes.
I was playing 25Ks in Japan, and now I'm the... Champion of Indian Wells. It's crazy.
When I meditate, I visualize myself after the match as the winner.
Kerber is an incredible fighter. She redirects her shots. She can hit any shot at any time in any specific place whenever she wants.
