 I carried through well with my tennis. I got the respect by usage of the tennis racket. |
| I want not, that everybody hears about. Then I can't longer be myself. |
| When I got to match point in the final I was afraid I'd be a little nervous, but I just said, You have to stay focused, just think about what you have to do. |
| I think in the lifetime of a tennis player there are many times where you feel that tremendous confidence. |
| I want children, but at the moment the liberty I have now finally, has a far too high value. |
| I was formerly so stuck into plans. I can now live more spontaneously. This I want not yet to give away. |
| For me retiring wasn't hard once I knew that that was the decision I was going to make. |
| That was one of those moments where I felt so confident. I played three matches in the same day. |
| It came so soon and so fast. It's just overwhelming. Every time I think about it, I just can't believe it. |
| I'm having a good time. Managing my things takes a lot of time. |
| The difficult part was to tell the world that I was finishing. |
| I lost more then 6 kilograms when I ceased with the top sport. That were all muscles. They are now gone. |
| It's amazing, it doesn't feel like it has been 10 years since retirement. |
| I was feeling a lot of confidence, so I wanted to take advantage of that and keep playing. |
| I didn't know what was going through my mind. |
| When I finally held the trophy, it was just how I imagined it would be. |
| 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. |
| I played Mary Joe Fernandez in the semifinals. She was winning the first set. Second set was very close. I started to play this aggressive game. I think I surprised them. |
| I can't laugh, be happy, present myself at any prize and also win on the centre court. |
| Now I have the bravery to do fine things. |
