For me, I think the Lord wanted me to win to put a smile on Chinese people's faces.

As long as there's pasta and Chinese food in the world, I'm okay.

I'm a competitive person and it is in my nature to try hard in every match I play. The only time I'm not competitive is when I'm playing against my mom.

I feel like I have as good a shot as anybody out there and I have gotten close in the past, so why not have the attitude that I can come out and play great tennis and maybe even win this tournament.

For me, I think the Lord wanted me to win to put a smile on Chinese people's faces.

I still have a belief and a faith that some great things are still going to happen in my career. If I didn't believe that, it makes no sense for me to be out there, and on top of that, I know this is a period of time that God wants me to persevere through.
