First memory of tennis: “When I was nine and a half years old I played my first tournament and I made it to the final and I was wearing these big loafers as tennis shoes. And I lost in the final and I ended up crying, I was so mad because I wanted to win so bad.”<\/p>\n

Tennis inspirations: “Kim Clijsters. I think she was one of my favorites. She\u2019s just an all around amazing person, so down to earth. And Roger Federer, of course.”<\/p>\n

Last book read: “I read Gaby Douglas\u2019 book after she won the Olympics.”<\/p>\n

Current car: “A Volkswagen Antigua (white).”<\/p>\n

First famous tennis player you met or encountered: “Kim Clijsters. (Where?) Miami. When I was eleven, maybe. I came to watch her and she was signing autographs.”<\/p>\n

Favorite ice cream flavor: “Oreo.”<\/p>\n

Greatest career moment (so far): “Probably, so far, when I won Orange Bowl 2010. I won quite a few matches in a row and it was really a fulfilling feeling. It was really nice.”<\/p>\n

Most painful moment: “Can\u2019t think of one. I mean, every time you lose is very painful.”<\/p>\n

Favorite tournaments: “Indian Wells, French Open, Miami.”<\/p>\n

Funny tennis memory: “I have gotten pooped on by birds quite a few times. During the match [smiles].”<\/p>\n

Strangest match: “No. Nothing comes to mind.”<\/p>\n

Closest tennis friends: “Madison Keys is one of my really good friends. Allison Riske. And Melanie Oudin.”<\/p>\n

Funniest players encountered: “Andrea Petkovic. She\u2019s funny.”<\/p>\n

Favorite sport outside of tennis: “Soccer.”<\/p>\n

Three athletes you like to watch & follow: “Ray Lewis is my all time favorite. (Why?) Just his personality, it\u2019s so amazing. He\u2019s such a fighter, he\u2019s fought so much adversity and hopefully I get the chance to meet him soon because he lives in Miami. Roger Federer. And Beckham.”<\/p>\n

Why do you love playing tennis: “The feeling you get when you win a match, it tops everything, any feeling in the world, so\u2026”<\/p>\n

People qualities most admired: “I like a sense of humor. And honesty. And loyalty.”<\/p>\n
