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.
I've never had big problems ab...
I've never had big problems about being long on the court. During the U.S. Open I played three events (singles, doubles, mixed doubles) and some people asked me if I want to stay overnight on the court.
Playing (Serena) it always fel...
Playing (Serena) it always felt like playing a steamroller. No subtlety, no finesse, just raw, loud power. To respect this style of play was always a bit tough for me, but of course I had to, because the rules of tennis dont state that having a beautiful game is required to become No. 1.

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.

Honestly, I'm more into the computer, the Internet, and checking out scores or the news.
I don't think it's a low point...
I don't think it's a low point being in the finals of the French Open, three points away from the victory.

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

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

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.
I've been on top longer and I ...
I've been on top longer and I am younger. I'm just better.

And the '99 finals at the French - if I had won that one easily, no one would have talked about it.
I did things I should not have...
I did things I should not have done. But people make mistakes, especially at my age, when you feel you are so smart, but in fact you are an asshole.

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.

I went through very emotional things this year, like being in the French Open finals already feeling like you got it and kind of losing it.
I still think I have the speed...
I still think I have the speed and the variations also to win the matches, but its very good competition and also a great challenge for me too.
Being black only helps them. M...
Being black only helps them. Many times they get sponsors because they are black. And they have had a lot of advantages because they can always say, 'It's racism.' They can always come back and say, 'Because we are this color, things happen.'
A lot of these young girls, th...
A lot of these young girls, they dont even know what the game is about. They have never seen a drop shot, a slice and all the mixture and variety I have.

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