I'm not used to crying,it's a little difficult.All my life I've had to fight.It's just another fight I'm going to have to learn how to win,that's all.I'm just going to have to keep smiling-Serena William


Luck has nothing to do with it,because I have spent many,many hours,countless hours,on the court working for my one moment in time,not knowing when it would come-Serena William



If you can keep playing tennis when somebody is shooting a gun down the street,then that's concentration-Serena William

This US open has thrown some surprises

First a relatively unknown kei Nishikori beating world no 1 Novak Djokovic in the semis

Then Marin Cilic another unknown beating Federer in the semis as well.

Was so lucky to avoid big wagers on the favourites, I could have lost big time.
