I still have things that I need to work on, and I still get stuff from my dad saying move your feet, do this. So nothing has changed in that regard.

"I think the only thing that has changed with people treating me differently is that I have not gotten the question of being No.1 without a Grand Slam," she said with a laugh. "So that's a difference, that's a big difference and that's a change that I'm very happy about", reported by WTA.
