I think she can play rallies now. She has definitely improved a lot because she won Wimbledon. |
I think she was really hurt that she lost to me. Her ego was hurt and she really wanted to give a point to her team. That's why she found extra motivation. |
I wasn't happy with my game but I was never in serious trouble. |
I'd never played her before, so it took me a little while to get used to her game. I think it was a good test for me today, but I'll need to be even better tomorrow if I'm going to win. |
I'm happy as this win will help my effort to regain a place in the top 10, |
I'm not on top of my game, but it's getting better and better. If I can my get confidence back it will be easier to play. My game is coming back, but my confidence isn't there yet. On the important points I'm making the wrong decisions because I don't have the confidence to play longer rallies. |
I'm playing well but she's confident right now, |
I'm really disappointed with my performance since Australia, |
I'm really happy, I'm really enjoying it, ... The year wasn't so good so here I have a goal. I want to win. |
I've been getting better with every match, ... After a few games I was able to read her serve, which made it easier for me in the return games. I haven't won a title in a year now, so I'm really hoping I can do it tomorrow. |
In Moscow I played the wrong tactic, so I changed it, ... I tried to make her move more and to force her backhand and as you see it worked really well. |
It is always harder to play against good friends. I hope this match will be interesting. |
It was a great match - she played incredible today. |
It was a pretty tricky match against a determined opponent. I better get used to playing such opponents and get ready for tougher players as the tournament advances. |
It was more a practice match for me, ... I pulled a muscle playing doubles yesterday, but once I was out there today it was getting warm and getting better. |
