Quitting is never an option.

Recovery is really important.

I've never been a very flashy person.

It's always been my dream to compete.

I always keep my makeup really simple.

I do not follow superstitions on court.

All we see is gym, tennis court, and bed.

I use Moroccanoil shampoo and conditioner.

Sport doesn't build character, it shows it.

My goal is to be No. 1 and to win Grand Slams.

I know that us girls aren't the easiest to coach.

Living through war has helped make me pretty strong.

If I weren't a tennis player, I'd probably be a psychologist.

A smile is a curve that can straighten out a lot of problems.

I had struggles throughout my career. I had some tough times.

I don't really eat fried food. It's definitely a no go for me.

Even when I get dressed up to go out, I never use too much makeup.

I am pretty happy. But there are so many things I have to still improve.

For my fifth birthday, I got a small tennis racket. That's how I started.

I admire Roger Federer, not only for his tennis but also for his personality.

I think, when I'm on the court, I become with a killer instinct - a real Scorpio.

I feel flattered that people like the way I look, but it doesn't help you win points.

When you mature, you also get more secure about yourself. You see things differently.

I'm very easy-going off court, but I really want to win once I'm walking on to the court.

I believe I have quality, and that's why I won a grand slam, so I know I can do it again.

I think it's better not to mix professional life and personal life - although it is hard.

I'm very determined, and I know I can achieve, so I don't let little setbacks put me down.

When I was starting out, it was almost impossible for me to get visas to travel to tournaments.

Before a match, I need to be alone. I need to reach concentration and focus on the game ahead of me.

The most important thing is always to feel comfortable - I would never sacrifice function for style.

I have a lot of hair, and it's quite heavy: Sometimes I'll braid it for a match so it's all together.

When I'm very motivated, and when I have to compete, I change a little bit; I become very competitive.

I need nine hours of sleep because of all the activity I do. It doesn't always happen, but I really try.

I have always liked my hair when it's braided, because if I don't, it kind of runs in my eyes when I hit.

My coach is, Look at Novak. Look at him. They're so ripped. I'm like, Yeah, well, I can't look like that.

A lot of coaches are very intense, which is good once you are working, but you don't want that all the time.

If you are happy in your private life, and - that will affect your tennis, and that will help you, actually.

Tennis has opened a number of possibilities for me, and in future, it would be great to give something back.

I really love fish, so I'll mix between that and meat, but I have to have protein. I can't survive without it.

I try not to think about the person, just their tactics, their weaknesses and strengths. I play against the ball.

My parents were very protective of me and my brother, so they never talked to us about the situation in our country.

In cities like Miami, my hair can get so frizzy, it looks crazy. I use TRESemm Extra Hold hairspray. I use a lot of it.

I personally love Essie because they're such a good brush, and it's so easy to apply. I always go red. If I'm in doubt, I go red.

I won two ITF tournaments in Japan in two weeks. I had to qualify for both of them, which meant that I won 16 matches in 15 days.

Fame and success and titles stay with you, but they wear out eventually. In the end, all that you are left with is your character.

I am constantly trying to improve my playing and hope to get more and more mental strength. I think these are two of the success keys.

It's not good to stretch when you're cold. Get your heart rate up, and once you finish, take time to stretch and let your body calm down.

The time during bombings was definitely difficult for everyone. My parents, they really protected me from it, and we came through together.

I lift weights. I'll do a lot of running, a lot of cardio and strengthening. I use my body weight, a TRX sometimes. A lot of it is endurance.

Being from Serbia makes us tough and eager to prove that we can come from this country that has been through so much and still be successful.
