Q : You're known to have a fast serve. What's the highest it's been clocked at?

A : I honestly don't know, my guess would be around 70-80 mph. I honestly haven't tested it in a while.

A : It's interesting, because none of my family members have played tennis. When I was younger, I watched it and picked up a racquet at age 3 and started playing.

Q : Who is your favorite pro tennis player?

A : My favorite girl is Ana Ivanovic and guy is Andy Roddick. He's always been my favorite. I like Ana because she's always the underdog and I like how she doesn't let the crowd affect her, and she stays focused when they sometimes boo her.
