Knowing her now for two or three years, yeah, that’s for sure the best tennis she’s ever played, ... She has confidence now, which is huge, a big importance to her game. |
Like in most tournaments, there is a progression in my level of play. I'm feeling better and better, |
Mary and I were really close. There was an incredible tension. I really believe we played one of the best games played in 2005. |
Mary, when she plays like that can beat anyone. |
Maybe tomorrow I'll finally win it. I'll certainly be watching the next match very closely but whatever happens tomorrow it will be great preparation for Roland Garros. |
Maybe try to make it one step further this year, |
Maybe we have found a way now and maybe we will try to keep going. |
Meeting up with the team is really exciting because we know we're going to share some really intense moments. |
My legs were not really moving very well. And then she played a good first set. |
My serve was big tonight. I kept the ball in and I was hitting it pretty hard. |
Not spending too much time on the court is an advantage when you play these kind of tournaments, when you have to go out every day. But because I haven't played for a month in competition, I like to be maybe tested a little bit more so that I can really know where I am in terms of physical training and everything. |
Obviously, just not spending too much time on the court is an advantage when you play these kind of tournaments, when you have to go out every day. |
Obviously, just putting the ball in and taking the opportunities when I would have them was probably going to be the key. I didn't think, though, that it was going to be this kind of score or this kind of a match. Yeah, I mean, she made way too many errors...She's tall and she's already very powerful for 16. Maybe sometimes not so coordinated, but this is probably going to come. |
Obviously, she put me in much more trouble with her serve than the match before, ... Even if these kinds of matches don't give you a lot of rhythm, it's good to play these kinds of players that hit very hard and make the points in two or three shots. |
Obviously, you can't celebrate the injury of someone else. I just hope it doesn't cut her season short. I think she's had her share of injuries in the past. |
