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.
I obviously want to win a grand slam, but whatever I do, however long I play, I hope I sustain a really long career, a healthy one, just a pretty consistent career. I obviously want to win a grand slam.
I still think that I'm dreaming. It's a strange feeling. I always try to watch the final of Grand Slams because that's where the best players are playing. ... I never expected to play a final. I never expected to win a Grand Slam. And right now I just did it.
Because I've won one Grand Slam title, I feel like I have a good chance to win more.
It's my dream to win a grand slam title.
I've always said that winning a Grand Slam title is what is most important.
I feel a lot of confidence from that memory, playing final first time in Grand Slam. But also I always think that I could play a little better in a final. I lost straight sets. I didn't do well.
If you want to win a Grand Slam, when you dream, you say, 'I want Serena in the final.'
Even when I was a little kid, I always dreamed that I would play Serena in a final of a Grand Slam.
Of course it's one of my goals to win another grand slam. Wimbledon was great - so if it's Wimbledon again, that's fine - but I think I have the game to win the other grand slams as well.
To me, the U.S. Open was always the Grand Slam I wanted to win most.
I always said if I had to pick one Grand Slam to win, it would be the U.S. Open.
One thing that is 100% certain is that emotions are always incredibly high in a match and, I would imagine, definitely more so in a grand slam final.
We have seen plenty of first-time semi-finalists go on and win grand slams.
It doesn't always work out that you win a tournament and then a Grand Slam, but I'm happy to have the confidence.
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.
