Tennis Inspirations: “Yeah, Martina Hingis, one of my role models, growing up I was always looking at her game. And I was trying to play like her.”
First Tennis Memory: “Playing with my mom and dad and brother in a small town. And they didn’t want to play with me [smiles] because I was so bad, so I was standing against the wall just hitting for three, four hours every day. One day I beat them and that was so good.”
Favorite Movies: “Titanic, I have so many, Lord Of The Rings, National Treasure, White Chicks, Wedding Crashers. A lot, I have a lot.”
Last Book Read: “The Girl Who Played With A Fire, the writer is Stieg Larsson.”
Favorite TV Shows: “Orange County, Grey’s Anatomy.”
Musical Tastes: “All different kinds, I like Mariah Carey.”
Pre-Match Feeling: “Just relaxed, you know, I like to read a book before. Just to think about anything, just clear my mind.”
Current Car: “No, I don’t have one.”
Favorite Meal: “Tacos [smiles].”
Favorite Ice Cream Flavor: “Cookies.”
Greatest Sports Moment: “Winning New Haven and winning my first WTA and winning junior Wimbledon.”
Most Painful Moment: “I’m trying to think…I don’t know.”
Favorite Tournaments: “All the grand slams. I really like the US Open and I like Wimbledon a lot. I have good memories playing Wimbledon – winning juniors there – so I like going back. And I like the grass and the atmosphere.”
Closest WTA Friends: “Sorana Cirstea, the Polish ones.”
Funniest Players Encountered: “Vince Spadea. I met him at an exhibition in Liverpool and he was just hilarious.”
Toughest Competitors: “I don’t know if there is one that I fear the most. (Toughest to play?) They can all be tough. I just go out and play my best against all opponents.”
Favorite Players To Watch: “I like watching Federer play.”
Funny Tennis Memory: “I think you have to see this point. Chakvetadze, she hits a shot, she gets an easy overhead. The opponent is standing far behind the baseline and not even going for the shot. She hit the overhead – she mis-hit it. And she goes for the backhand and she hits it in. She won the point anyways.”
Embarrassing Tennis Memory: “That’s a tough one. I don’t know. I lost love and one in doubles in French Open (to Sugiyama/Srebotnik). I didn’t think that was fun.”
Last Vacation: “After Wimbledon I went to Copenhagen for a few days my birthday.”
Favorite Sports Outside Tennis: “I like soccer and basketball.”
Best You Ever Felt On Court: “I think my first final in Stockholm last summer. I felt like every ball was just sitting there and then taking the trophy and winning, that was great.”
Personality Qualities Most Admired: “Honesty, polite, nice, smart.”
