I'm not involved in tennis but committed.

Actually this summer, I played great tennis. I'm very happy with my game.

Tennis has given me soul.

Tennis is the purest form of democracy. There was a symbiotic, chicken-and-egg relationship for me between democracy and tennis.

My mom told me to cover up my arms ever since I was little because I was muscular. She wanted me to be feminine, which did not come easy to me. My body was what it was, and I worked it to be a better tennis player.

The Czech tennis federation wasn't holding me back, but they could still pull the plug anytime they wanted.
