Quotes by Kiki Bertens
I think I can play really well on grass when my serve is going well, when I really play aggressive, when I believe in it, then I think I can play well.
I like to play a little bit of blackjack and a little bit of roulette but I'm not a big gambler.
I would like to see a rule change - or at least a discussion around the issue - where you can have an injury timeout but then you lose a point. I think it needs something to make players consider if they really need the timeout.
