This is a dream from when I was kid. I'm playing tennis almost 18 years, and of course everybody's dream is to play the final of a Grand Slam.
For me, grand slams are something you dream about playing as a kid.
If you get into the main draw of a Grand Slam, then you've made your mark and proved that's where you belong.
The dream is to win a Grand Slam and that is what I'm playing for and training for. It's tough, but I believe that maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to win one.
Twenty days ago my physio asked me if I was if I never think that I can win a Grand Slam or be in final of Grand Slam, and I said no.
My dream was always to win a grand slam, and my second dream was to be No. 1.
Winning a Grand Slam is not something I'll think about.
It's my dream to win a grand slam title.
I'm not the first player to have their home Grand Slam and not perform. There have been a few Australians and French players, you name it. It's a tough thing. But it is one of those things. Would I rather have a Grand Slam in my country than not? I would.
I get my drive and determination from just winning and playing tennis. I know if I don't work, I won't get rewarded. It was a life long dream to win a Grand Slam so when I was able to do that it felt so good and I wanted to do it again. It's not that hard to stay motivated.
Playing for Juventus is something you dream about when you're a kid.
I'm not that good a player, and I'll be the first to admit that. I might be a three or four grand-slam winner; I might be a two grand-slam winner, I don't know.
It's a dream come true. I mean, when I was a kid, I used to dream about playing college football one day, and now I'm playing in the best conference, and I truly believe that.
It doesn't matter the way you're playing, especially the beginning of a grand slam. It doesn't change anything.
It's a Grand Slam. Everyone is playing to win, playing for themselves at the best level. They've prepared their best.
Even when I was a little kid, I always dreamed that I would play Serena in a final of a Grand Slam.
