VENUS WILLIAMS
United States
I
remember winning a set and being
up around 5-2 in Sydney and I think I
lost a couple of games, so things were
starting to get a little bit tight. But then
I won it on what was like a questionable
call – my opponent [Elena Dementieva]
was questioning the call so I really didn't
get a chance to really, really celebrate
that moment because of that. But it was a
wonderful moment and I never saw myself
winning Olympic gold. I saw myself doing
other things in tennis so that surpassed my
dreams. That was my first Olympics and it
was just unbelievable.
At that time, and that
standing up there you
so confident, like you
conquer the world.
