00:05no one really knows all the sacrifices that you make
00:11just to be good
00:14before i won the u.s. open
00:16so many people told my dad that i would never be anything
00:21naomi she was like an overnight superstar
00:24and i think that pressure weighed heavily on her
00:28i think the amount of attention that i get is kind of ridiculous
00:32no one prepares you for that
00:35i don't know i feel like i'm struggling
00:39she's young everyone has an opinion
00:41her sponsors her family social media you want to add in like another million people
00:50growing up all i was thinking is like i want my mom to like be happy i want her to
00:55stop working
00:56she would work overtime she would sleep in your car
00:59and for me that was my whole point of playing tennis
01:04my dad's always been proud of where he comes from
01:06whenever i'm in hard situations he's always told me
01:10my ancestors were on the ship for like 40 days
01:13i use that as strength
01:17i always had this pressure to maintain the squeaky image
01:21but now i don't care what anyone has to say
01:25none of these deaths have to happen and i just want everyone to know the names
01:40for so long i've tied winning to my worth as a person
01:44to anyone that would know me they know me for being a tennis player
01:47so like what am i if i'm not a good tennis player
02:10you
