There are a lot of pretty girls. I am a tennis player first of all, that is why I am here, and if wasn't producing results no one would notice me.

You don't think people would go on about my looks if I was No. 500 in the world instead of No.12, do you? Anyway, as I keep telling everyone, you can't blame me for looking like this on purpose.

When I play, I feel like in a theatre, why should I look ugly then, because I'm a tennis-player?

I think that tennis is a lady's sport, so we should look out there like ladies.

When I was 12, every little girl in Russia was trying to wear her hair like mine and playing tennis.
