"A great tennis career is
something that a 15-year-old normally doesn't have. I hope my example
helps other teens believe they can accomplish things they never thought
possible."
"I don't follow other players or the tournaments they play. I have my
own schedule and do my own thing. I never really think, 'Oh, I want to
be or play like so-and-so.' I just like being myself."
"I learned there's a big difference between juniors and the pros."
"I'm just like every other girl who likes to shop, likes to look good,
likes to spend time with friends."
"I'm not the next anyone, I'm the first Maria Sharapova."
"I've been playing against older and stronger competition my whole life.
It has made me a better tennis player and able to play against this kind
of level despite their strength and experience."
