During her stay in Toronto
August 13, 2007

 

 

About the fact of having unleashed the big-money genie and turning tennis into a spectacle sport:

"If it wouldn't have been me, it would have been somebody else."

"You just kind of have to be in the right place at the right time and have the whole package. Personally, I couldn't take all the credit for it."

The "eating disorder"-rumours:

"I was never a big, strong girl. I was always skinny and little."

About Enrique...:

"We're together...and we're great."

About the WTT and exhibition/charity events she plays:

"It's a great opportunity for me to be back on the court, in front of fans, and feel the atmosphere. For me, this is the only way..."

Bottom line:

"Tennis gave me everything, tennis gave me a life. I wouldn't be the person that I am – I can't even imagine. I would probably be cleaning toilets somewhere in Russia."

Could she imagine to appear in the dating series "Age of Love" (like Mark Philippoussis):

"No, I wouldn't be interested in doing it, and, yes I have been approached a lot of times. I think for a guy it's okay to be kissing ten girls at the same time, but I don't think it's good for a girl, is it (laughing)?"

Her opinion about the current situation of many WTA Top players forced to withdraw from many tournaments (like the Rogers Cup):

"a no-win situation,...stuff happens."
