I have been recently diagnosed with Sjogren's Syndrome, an autoimmune disease which is an ongoing medical condition that affects my energy level and causes fatigue and joint pain.

My style is kind of eclectic and I don't like to do the same thing over and over again. I like to have fun and explore myself so you won't see the same design.

Everything is tennis for me, it's my career and it's entertainment, but it's also a business.

The principle of the design - the harmony, rhythm and balance are all the same with interior and fashion design.

Interior design is a business of trust.

Some people say I have attitude - maybe I do... but I think you have to. You have to believe in yourself when no one else does - that makes you a winner right there.

It wasn't like I was self-motivated. My dad started me. It was his dream before it was mine.

I always like to win. But I'm the big sister. I want to make sure she has everything, even if I don't have anything. It's hard. I love her too much. That's what counts.

I think I can change the game.

All those lessons that I've learned on the court, I have applied them to my life outside of the court in business, my company, called V Starr interiors, an interior design company, and EleVen, which I wear on court.

Losses have propelled me to even bigger places, so I understand the importance of losing. You can never get complacent because a loss is always around the corner. It's in any game that you're in - a business game or whatever - you can't get complacent.

I contribute my best in my sport and I also have a ton of respect for myself and my family.

I love design.

I'm always on the court with my dad.

If you're not a competitor, you've just got to go home.
