That’s how bored I was. I didn’t have anything to do.” On her college studies “First of all, I’m totally not going to graduate. I haven’t done any work for two weeks. I don’t think I’m going to make it. My graduation date is December 14th, but I don’t think that’s going to happen. My professors actually texted me, so maybe they’ll let me, you know, slide.” On only six unforced errors “Shut the front door. I don’t think that’s ever happened to me before. Oh, my God. That’s a stat. Snaps for me.” On wanting another Slam win “Of course, Girl. Did you see that check that lady handed me? Like, yes. Man, if that doesn’t make you want to play tennis, I don’t know what will. Man.” On her trophy ceremony “I was worried about like my boob sweat. Because I was, like, this is a picture they are probably going to use and I look terrible. That’s what I remember most about the picture. Sorry.”
