• “I love football, and would quite gladly give up tennis if Aston Villa knocked on my door and were looking for a striker! It’s obviously never going to happen, but sometimes I do feel as though I could do a better job than Baros!
• "I went to school with England defender Jonathan Woodgate. A reporter once commented on the fact that we used to play football together and Woodgate said, 'Sarah would have been even better at football than she is at tennis.’
• "I love travelling, which is good because that’s all I do! Love meeting new people and discovering new cultures, reading books, trying to find ways of generating sponsorship (keeps me mentally sane on the tour), finding ways to promote Montenegro.”
