It's not a mission of mine to end the year No.1. I know if I win everything I have a very good chance, but I just want to focus on the matches I have to win and the tournaments that I'm committed to for the remainder of this year. Of course I'd take another Grand Slam title over the No.1 ranking any day, but I am proud of the fact that I'll probably finish another season at least in the Top Three. That's no mean feat. |
It's not frightening. I look at it as a challenge to play a lot of the young girls that are coming up -- and the really good ones. I think I've played most of them, I don't care what age they are or how long they've been playing, it's all about the tennis and what kind of game each girl can bring on that day. |
It's not really in my mind, ... If I won here, I wouldn't stop. I would finish the year. |
It's not up in my priority list. My whole goal is just to get better. I'll be playing fewer tournaments this year, so it's inevitable. |
It's OK after a lot of treatment, but sometimes hurts when I bend over to pick up something. |
It's really been good. I haven't had any problems since I came back the second time this summer. It hasn't really been an issue too much. |
It's the kind of tennis I want to play. I felt like I was really aggressive and yet I could move well. I was consistent, hitting the ball hard. I'm very excited about that. |
It's tough sometimes to play four weeks in a row and still to come out on top, ... I've played a lot of matches the last few weeks and I felt this whole week was a success. I won in straight sets every match, and it's not always easy to win when you're expected to win. I felt I handled that very well this week. |
It's tough. The courts are real sticky. |

Its not a mission of mine to end the year No.1, |
Knowing that I worked hard and knowing that I'm playing well certainly makes me feel very prepared going into Melbourne. |
Lots of crazy things can happen on this surface but it was pretty easy, |
Monday's going to be a lot different story, ... Kim's not going to let me do that so easily and will get more balls back and will really press me a lot more than I've pressed so far. |
More than anything, the girl finds a way to win and finds a way to get her opponent uncomfortable; I'm sure she has a way to negate power still. Sometimes, we have a difference in level between top 10 and then 10 through 20, but so far she's been playing excellent. |
