I think the U.S. Open just doesn't suit my personality. I'm more of a calm person. There, it's noisy all day, cars are everywhere, and it takes so long to get to the site. I know that those things shouldn't matter when you're playing, but I just find they drain your energy.

I still like sweets and sometimes treat myself but not often. I try to keep an eye on it, but it's not like I'm desperate to go and eat a whole chocolate cake! I do like a bit of vanilla ice cream, though.

I'm not the sort of person who would want to just lie on the sofa watching TV.

I have six racquets and usually two pairs of tennis shoes with me. Most of the time, the shoes can last two or three weeks if I'm playing all the week. I'm not the kind of player who slides a lot, so I just need one extra pair in my bag.

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.

I love to play finals. I love to play on the big stadium.

Living out of a bag, in hotels, packing, unpacking, travelling, the hours of flying, sometimes the credit card doesn't work at the hotel, or the room isn't ready - I'm lucky to have a team around to help me.

Everybody really can beat everyone from the top, so it's really difficult to stay on the top.

When I was younger, I used to think ahead too much, and that would make me lose concentration in the match I was playing.

In Madrid, the conditions are always better for me. It suits my game: fast clay, high altitude, the balls fly really well.

Petra Kvitova

Well Ways Way

I can tell you that tennis is a huge motivation for me.

You Tennis Ten

To win a Grand Slam, you have to win seven matches in a row, and it's very different physically and mentally from other tournaments.

Men You Win

When you enter the gates of the All England Club, you can feel the history of tennis.

My dream is to have a medal from the Olympic Games, and I will do my best to have it.

Quiet is definitely not how I would describe New York, but if I go outside of the front door, I see the beautiful Central Park, so it's a nice place to be. And I have a very quiet room, which helps!

Petra Kvitova

I couldn't imagine myself retiring from a match.

The Connecticut Open is one of my favorite events in the summer, so it feels great to have it confirmed on my calendar. I have a special relationship with the tournament and always feel such strong support when I'm on the court there.

One thing I always do is listen to my iPod. I listen to whatever is kind of new on the radio, I am always downloading stuff.

Petra Kvitova

Whatever Ways Way

I'm really trying to be relaxed on my days off.

It is for sure a big part of the coach's job to make sure the tennis does not get neglected.

I've always been a person who likes to take care of myself, but there is so much to do behind the scenes, and I love to just focus on the tennis.

Like every normal working person, you get tired and need time out.

Petra Kvitova

I think English is very important for tennis players. To be on the tour, it's much more easier if you speak English. So that's why I knew that I have to improve my English.

Petra Kvitova

Sometimes I put too much pressure on my back.

Petra Kvitova

I don't want to change; I just want to be like everyone else. I'm nothing special.

Petra Kvitova

Maybe sometimes I don't look like that I'm really enjoying being on the court and playing tennis, but inside, I'm really enjoying it.

Petra Kvitova

I think it's a long-time process when you are trying to get fitter and fitter.

Petra Kvitova

I'm not someone who enjoys being recognised too much.

Petra Kvitova

I don't pretend to be any different just because I win tennis matches, so hopefully brands appreciate my approach and my likeability, because it's who I am.

Petra Kvitova

I'm going to try to put less pressure on myself, but I know how easy it is to say that rather than to feel it, but that's how it is.

Petra Kvitova

Obviously, diet is important for an athlete, but I don't have anyone telling me, 'You can eat this, but don't try that.'

I think the U.S. Open just doesn't suit my personality. I'm more of a calm person. There, it's noisy all day, cars are everywhere, and it takes so long to get to the site. I know that those things shouldn't matter when you're playing, but I just find they drain your energy.

I spent 10 days on the beach and slept pretty much all day, every day. It was the perfect place to have a rest.

Petra Kvitova

Even in the heat, I'm able to be there and run and fight, no matter what is happening.

Petra Kvitova

I had a Skoda, but after Wimbledon, I changed to BMW.

During Wimbledon, I ate only rice and pineapple. My coach cooked for me. He made sweet rice.

The most important thing is definitely success on the tennis court. I know that if I win matches, everything else will fall into place, and the money and sponsors will follow.

Petra Kvitova

I was always a player who has ups and downs. I could play unbelievable, and I could lose to someone.

Petra Kvitova

I know it's just sport; it's just tennis.

Petra Kvitova

You can feel up, you can feel down, and you have to keep your emotions kind of somewhere to be focused on the next ball.

It means a lot; I always love to represent my country, and it's an honor to be part of the Olympics and be with other athletes.

Petra Kvitova

I like the big matches against the greatest players.

Petra Kvitova

I'm glad that I can play the tennis that I always wish to play.

Winning two Wimbledons is very nice, no matter what.

I think everything bad that happens can be good in a way, if you're thinking about it after a while.

Petra Kvitova

I like normal clothes, jeans, and t-shirt. Sometimes a dress.

Petra Kvitova

When I was a baby, I was on a tennis court every day with my mom and with my brothers, so I would pick up the balls for them when they'd play, and then sometimes I'd play with them, but not very often.

Petra Kvitova

I'm always nice.

Petra Kvitova

It's very challenging to get the right balance between relaxing and working.

Petra Kvitova

I like a kind of quiet place - Wimbledon Village, for example.

Petra Kvitova

I'm not really a person that needs to make a lot of money. The money is great for an easy life, but at the same time, it's not very important.
