Maria Sharapova

“I've always been a fighter.”

“Losing is not my enemy, fear of losing is my enemy.”

“Tennis is a very mental game. It's a game of inches.”

“I'm an athlete. I'm not a model. I'm a tennis player.”

“I'm not the next anyone, I'm the first Maria Sharapova.”

“I want to be different. If everyone is wearing black, I want to be wearing red.”

“I'm a very competitive person. I'm not a person who is used to losing.”

“It's easy to be a one-hit wonder. It's hard to be a legend.”

“No matter what you do, you're going to have people who have something to say about something you do.”

“You have your bad moments, but you have to fight through them.”

“I'm not a big believer in just sitting around and feeling sorry for yourself.”

“When I'm on the court, I'm a different person.”

“When you look good, you feel good. Confidence with what you're wearing is very important.”

“I've been very competitive by nature from a young age, whether it was eating a bowl of pasta faster than somebody else, or always wanting to be the first one in line.”

“The more you play, the more you learn.”
