Amélie Mauresmo

“I was just very focused on the game, and that's the way I have to play.”

“I don't want to be the person who is the No. 1 and doesn't win a Grand Slam.”

“I am what I am. I am my own person. I have my own personality. I'm not going to change that for anyone.”

“It's an amazing feeling to finally get there. It’s been a long road.”

“I think it's just a matter of confidence. When you have confidence, you can do anything.”

“Pressure is part of the game. You have to handle it.”

“I really want to be a part of it, to be on the court, to be in the huddle. But you have to be a coach. You have to be on the side.”

“For me, the most important is that I continue to play well. The ranking will come later.”

“I have to find the right balance between being a mother and a coach.”

“I'm a bit of a perfectionist. I'm never satisfied.”

“The goal is to be No. 1 in the world. It's a dream of mine.”

“I'm not used to being the favorite. It's a new situation for me.”

“I've learned a lot from my losses. They make you stronger.”

“Winning a Grand Slam is the ultimate goal for every tennis player.”

“Being world number one is a great honour and a great responsibility.”

“It's important to have fun on the court, to enjoy what you're doing.”

“You learn every day. That's the beauty of life.”
