Honestly, I'm More Into The

I Was Always At Peace Because Of The Way My Mom Treated Me.

I Was Never Happy That My Injuries Cut My Career Short And Ultimately Forced My Decision To Step Away From Tennis. I Have Enjoyed My Time Away From The Court, A Period That Has Allowed Me To Experience A Different Side Of Life. However, I Miss The Game And The Challenge Of Competing At The Highest Level Of Tennis, And I Want To Gauge Whether I Can Stay Healthy And Compete Against Today's Top Players.

I've Never Had Big Problems About Being Long On The Court. During The U.s. Open I Played Three Events (singles, Doubles, Mixed Doubles) And Some People Asked Me If I Want To Stay Overnight On The Court.

Being Black Only Helps Them. Many Times They Get Sponsors Because They Are Black. And They Have Had A Lot Of Advantages Because They Can Always Say, 'it's Racism.' They Can Always Come Back And Say, 'because We Are This Color, Things Happen.'

Sometimes You Want To Make Your Own Experiences.
