"I'm in the semi-final of Wimbledon, it's crazy, but I'm still a mum.After this I will go out over there and I will see my kids and I will do the same thing what I do every single day. I will change her Pampers (nappies), I mean, everything normal."

"In one way, it can help you.You know what to expect.In the other way, you know also a little bit the weaknesses of both of us."
