Physically it was very difficult to keep up with Svetlana today. I just wasn't physically ready to run down a lot of balls.

Physically, I have to get a lot better, ... I have to play these three setters and the points are going to go on and on. This is not something that is going to happen overnight. I am only 18 and this is going to take time. My body is still growing and I'm still adjusting to my own body.

Pretty sad. I'll keep trying.

Reaching the No. 1 ranking has been a lifelong goal of mine, and achieving it here in Los Angeles would have been a dream come true. I am eager to get back to feeling 100 percent healthy and playing as soon as possible.

She started hitting the ball, hitting good shots. You stop and think, `What happened? I was up 4-0 and it's back to 4-all.'

She tried to mix it up a little at the end of the first set and I knew it would be physically harder. Mentally, I told myself it doesn't matter how many balls it takes, you're going to do everything possible to get one more ball back.

She was able to come back from tough points and play a few more. I was just not able to keep up with that pace and that was the key.

She was just too good on those long points.

She was picking the ball up early. She used my pace and the quickness of the court to her advantage and came up with some very good shots.

She was picking the ball up very early. She used my pace as well as the quickness of the court to her advantage. She made some great shots even on the defensive side.

She's a complete player. There's no big weakness in her game. I have to be ready for a tough match.
|
She's a great mover and makes you play another ball, but I was ready for that.
