It wasn't as easy as it looked out there, ... But Alicia didn't play well tonight. |
It would be wrong of me to expect I can come back after seven or eight weeks and be perfect, |
It?s just not something that I, at this age, can really focus on, ... where I don?t feel like I can play as much as some of the younger girls. Unfortunately, while our tour does reward quality, it also rewards quantity. |
It's a great goal to have and a it's a great kind of incentive that gives me more reason to get up and go this week, |
It's a great goal to have and it's a great kind of incentive this week. If it doesn't happen, it's not something that is going to worry me all that much. Kim totally deserves it. |
It's been a funny summer with a lot of players not playing, |
It's been a really good week overall, |
It's extremely difficult, but we couldn't have it any other way, |
It's extremely difficult, but we couldn't have it any other way. I don't think we'd be together if he just quit his job and carried my bags around the tour. That's our relationship. We're both very motivated, strong-willed people. It takes a huge effort and sacrifice on both our parts to make everything work, and it's always a work in progress and a discussion and everything that goes with that. |
It's fantastic when you're done (and) you're watching everyone else in the locker room sweat it out, but it's very tough when rain interrupts play. A lot of time it can change the momentum. Players get stiff, you're always unsure of when it will stop. And I think certain players are personally unprepared for it at certain venues. At Wimbledon, you're always looking up, like, ?OK, one more game.' I don't think anyone would have expected a long rain delay here in the desert. |
It's great, ... It's really, really a bizarre feeling to put your fate in other people's hands so to speak. It's unbelievable to do it four times. I wouldn't have felt last year that I have a chance to do that again. |
It's hard to come back in the tiebreak and get up and end up losing it, |
It's hard when there's people around because you really don't want that to happen. I was trying to keep the points short for a few games there. |
It's nice to come out on top, especially in a year that I didn't think that would be the case, ... Obviously it is very exciting to win here after I have been here so many years. It is nice to have this under my belt going into the U.S. Open. |
It's nice when you're feeling and being aggressive and taking short balls and coming in, |
