It's always been a thing. Like, I don't touch my belly button. That's something nobody knows about me.
— Caroline Wozniacki
If I'm not Top 10 or seeded every tournament, it really doesn't matter. I can beat anyone on a good day.
Reaching my first grand slam final was amazing, and I didn't expect it at just 19 years old.
I'm so happy to have done this, and now I can say I ran the New York City Marathon.
Young players are more hungry because they have not achieved what some of the older players have.
The rankings show the players playing the best and most consistent for 12 months.
My mom was a volleyball player, and my dad was a soccer player. I never thought about it, but they always served healthy food at home, and I love it, and it kind of was a regular part of my day.
The most important thing is friends, family, and the people around you. That's what really makes you happy.
I love working with kids and helping others, so I feel like a career in teaching would be perfect.
I like to bake, so sometimes I do the desserts. I don't eat too much desserts, though, because I need to be able to move around on the court.
When I get the questions, I answer what I can answer. If they ask me about the match, I cannot really say that I like eating bananas.
The best feeling is when you finish a point at the net.
The media will build you up in a hurry but then, just as fast, will bring you down.
If I didn't love tennis, I wouldn't be playing. That's also why I don't know how long I will be playing because if I start feeling like this is not what I want to do anymore, that there's not really any reason anymore.
Sometimes when you get to the press conferences, you hear you're going to play this person in the semifinals, and in the quarters, you're going to play her. And I'm like, 'Hold on a second.' First of all, you have to make it there. Second, your opponent needs to make it there. It looks easier on paper than it is in real life.
I think that's what it's all about; you work hard and practice to play on the big courts.
There are periods when you feel really good. You feel the ball is bigger. The court is larger. You feel like you can't miss. And then there are periods when you feel, 'OK, I'm not feeling great.' But I still need to try to find a way to win.
I was using a lot of the physios on the tour, which are also very good physios. But it's just... when you have someone personally for you, obviously, it's always better, and I can get treatment at home.
Whether I'm 70 or 30 in the world, it really doesn't matter.
I like playing at the U.S. Open because I like New York. It's a nice city. You can do anything there. It's one of my favourite cities in the world. I also like Indian Wells and Miami, too.
Every time I go out onto a tennis court, I know what to expect.
I give 110 per cent all the time.
My main base is Monaco, and that's where I live most of the time.
I have a sweet tooth. Milk chocolate with the caramel fillings - that's my guilty pleasure right there. But I think that's all right; we have to let ourselves indulge sometimes.
I'm quite careful. I like to buy nice things for myself, but I like to also be reasonable. I think I'm pretty careful.
I grew up eating anything at any time and going straight on court. So I'm not really that picky.
My mom is my great supporter. It's always nice to have her around. She can cook. It's nice to have some home-cooked food sometimes.
Sometimes things happen in life, and you kind of need a friend.
You have to be that 1 percent or 2 percent better physically so you have more power and energy left than your opponent when you go to a third set.
I always feel if I work hard, if I can practice 100%, then the results will come. Whether it's the first tournament, the third tournament, it's going to come.
I like to watch the men play. I like the way that they're playing, and I can always learn something from them. They're playing differently than the women, so I like to learn from them as well.
I love The Cheesecake Factory, especially the chicken marsala. I almost always pick that dish; it tastes unbelievable.
I would want to bring up my children. Therefore, I have no dream to make my mark. Instead, I enjoy economic freedom my hard work has given me. It means that I can give my children the best start in life.
Even when my opponent hits a very good shot, I don't just want to get it back. I want to get it back so they have difficulty. And then I can control the point.
I get treatment every day, just to keep on top of my body and help me recover, and it's really helped me a lot.
My mum and dad are both sportspeople and know what's it all about. They know it's hard work, but they also know what it takes to become a professional athlete. I don't think - without their help, I wouldn't have got this far.
I think everyone wants to look good whether that's on the court or off the court.
When I said I wanted to run a marathon, I wanted to do it under four hours. But when I started training, I was like, 'Oh I got this,' so I wanted to run between 3:30 and 3:35. I'm really proud of myself.
Wimbledon is very special with the traditions and everything.
I love a good steak. I like my meat. I love broccoli - it's one of my favorites - and corn, too. I mix it up with my vegetables.
It's always been such a big part of my life to be fit and healthy and be outside and run and play sports. It gives me energy. Sometimes, I have these days where I don't do anything because I have the days off, and I just need to relax, and I actually get more tired.
I would suggest that you only take advice from those people who have a lot of experience and who you trust as well. Also, be extremely conservative with your investments.
I think it is very important to have a life off the court, and to me, it wasn't that hard to balance tennis and a relationship.
Honestly, I don't really read about myself. I look at the pictures sometimes. Sometimes I'm looking at them, and I'm thinking, 'They could choose some better ones.' But I don't spend time reading about myself because I know what I'm up to. I prefer to read about other people.
It's tough to perform every week and do it well. Most people don't know how hard that is.
I don't think I need to prove anything to anybody.
You can either feel sorry for yourself and lay down and cry, or you can actually learn from it and move on and find all the positives in it.
There are always some surprises in the draw when people are playing pretty well.
I think a lot of us women feel like we deserve to play on the big courts in front of a big crowd as well.
I'm a competitor. Gym work can be tough. But you just try to get through it.
