I like Italian food.

Maybe America hates me.

My serve is my biggest weapon.

Tennis is a big thing in the Czech Republic.

If you believe in yourself, you can beat anyone.

It's just special to have a twin sister on the Tour.

Our dad used to take us fishing, and I still love it.

The village where my father lives is, like, 300 people.

I feel confident, especially about beating good players.

It's a plus to have a twin sister in the same tournaments.

When you lose, it's always tough to see the positive things.

You can see, even the best players, they can lose in the first round.

My movement actually is the worst part of the game but still improving.

I don't watch shows. I watch a lot of sports. Not soccer. I hate soccer.

If I serve good and play aggressive from the baseline, I can beat everyone.

Almost every Grand Slam, I'm in second week, which is pretty positive for me.

Normally, my goal is to get past the first round, because that's the hardest.

Nobody's feeling, after 10 days of playing every day, 100 per cent ready or fit.

I know all the opponents are behind me, so I should win every match, which is tough.

It's not only about a game and tennis, but it's more about the mental things sometimes.

Obviously, to win title, go in Grand Slam semi-final, is always super positive and good.

When you get to a tournament, everybody wants to do well, especially against a seeded player.

When I'm on court, I just worry about my half. Whatever is on the other half, I just don't care.

Sometimes I play good shots, good rallies, and then there is hundreds of mistakes and not a good shot.

Obviously I need a coach, but it's not the main thing in my team. I can play good even without a coach.

Brisbane is my favourite tournament... I have great memories here and always like to start the year here.

Sometimes players can have some ups-and-downs after they have done well and then lose a few matches in a row.

Those are the titles you play for, so I'd like to have a Grand Slam title in my life, and I'll do my best to do it.

I'm not studious at all. I'm really far from that. I have been better at everything else. I find school terribly tiresome and boring.

I don't put myself under huge pressure because if I don't play well at one grand slam, I know there's another one just a couple of months away.

Obviously it's very hard for everybody to be successful in the Grand Slams, so that's why some of the players, they lose, and they should not lose.

The main thing for me was when I won my first title in Kuala Lumpur. That was the biggest step that I made. I made the Top 100, and I've stayed there ever since.

To beat Serena, she's world No. 1, so it's always tough to beat someone like this. She's never giving up. Even if she's losing, not playing her best, it's always tough to beat girls like this.

Every year, I have a tournament in Czech Republic, so there are a lot of things I'm trying to do. Sometimes the money goes towards children; sometimes it's for wheelchair tennis players. I try to change it so everybody gets something.

My father used to play ice hockey, though not at a high level, and my mother wasn't involved in sport at all, but they were keen that we played some sort of sport. They chose tennis because they thought it was a good sport for girls to play.

I know the world is mean, that there is so much suffering on the planet that none of us can imagine. I often think of those who have nothing, who have to suffer every day, so a winner, a game, set, match will never give me immense joy, only satisfaction.

It's good to have someone on the tour so close to you - I mean, like, my sister. There is no one closer to me on the tour, so I don't need any other friends than her. We always talk about everything; not only about tennis, but about all the other stuff around tennis.

Before, I was a little bit skeptical about women coaching, because I don't know if maybe they are different, and not every woman can be strict to take the best out of you. I was worried about this, but so far I see that some women can be much stronger than men, actually.
