Why are you so mentally tough? Anna: "Am I?" Aren't you? Anna: "That's a tough question." That's your reputation. Anna: "Really? I guess I just don't think about it. I just try to mentally play every point." Why did you decide to go pro? Anna: "Why? Because I felt I was ready for it, and I couldn't stay in the juniors anymore." Was there one specific thing that happened? Anna: "No." Does anyone try to talk you out of it? Anna: "No." Who are your heroes? Anna: "Don't really have any." No tennis heroes? Anna: "No." When you go into matches, do you feel like the underdog? Anna: "Which way?" Like the fact that a lot of tennis fans don't know a lot about you? Anna: "I think they do know a lot about me." How long are your days when you're training? Anna: "I play three hours of tennis and do one hour of general workout." You travel a lot. How do you manage to have fun? Anna: "Traveling is fun." Where's your favorite place so far? Anna: "Paris." Did you go shopping already? Anna: "No, not yet. I just arrived yesterday." Do you have a driver's license? Anna: "No, my birthday is in one week!"
