It's been a phenomenal year. To be honest, I did surprise myself to some extent. I really didn't think it was going to happen so fast.

I consider this as yet another New Year gift.

for whatever I have to do on court as an 18-year-old.

I don't think I'll be intimidated but, you know, it's obviously a very big match for me,

I don't think I'm old enough or experienced enough to give anyone any guidance. All I would like say is that as long as you're having fun, I think you're doing the right thing.

As a young girl, I used to dream of giving an interview. You dream of stardom as a kid. People think they don't want to be stars. Everyone wants to be a star! That's the truth. Even grownups; they pretend they don't want to be one and don't care. But everyone wants to.
