Tennis is my life. ”

I've been on a tennis court all my life. The only thing that's been there longer is the net post. ”

I want to really change people's lives with what I do for a living. ”

There was always a purpose in what I did on the court because at the end of the day, my parents, they sacrificed for me and my brother. I had to do it for them. ”

To get a former player that has been there and has that extra intel. Jose Higueras is a great coach for that and a great person as well. ”

Being the number one seed, you're thinking you don't want to lose in the second round. ”

There's no reason trying to fit in: Just be you. That was the biggest thing for me, just being me, and finding what works for me. ”

When I met Jay-Z and Beyonce I was in awe, stuttering like crazy. This guy grew up in the projects and he and Beyonce are a billionaire couple. The empires they've built, affecting so many lives, is unbelievable. ”

From the ground, I'm pretty solid from both sides. My form really helps me a lot and my backend complements it. ”

My parents were hardworking and still are. Everything I do is for them and the family. ”
