I've Been On Top Longer And I

I've Never Had Big Problems About Being Long On The Court. During The U.s. Open I Played Three Events (singles, Doubles, Mixed Doubles) And Some People Asked Me If I Want To Stay Overnight On The Court.

I Find This Accusation So Horrendous, So Monstrous, That I Have Decided To Confront It Head-on By Talking To The Press. I Am Frustrated And Angry. I Believe That I Am Absolutely, 100 Per Cent Innocent. I Assure You: I Have Never Taken Drugs.

I Grew Up On The Tennis Court With Lots Of Other Kids. There Were Like 40 Kids All Afternoon And I Was One Of The Youngest Ones, So I Always Had To Chase Everybody To Keep Up.

Well, Maybe At Home I Don't Have The Best Image.

I Didn't Have The Same Fitness Or Ability As The Other Girls, So I Had To Beat Them With My Mind.
