She said: "I absolutely can't help it. Once, I was playing an exhibition match with Novak, and they put a microphone on me. I realized I was screaming, and I thought: 'Oh my God, it's so annoying. People should wear earplugs!'
I don't want to annoy people. I wanted to remove the microphone, but I think they cut it when I hit the ball."
