I just so badly didn't want to lose first round here. I knew I was well prepared for the situation, for the occasion. Tonight I felt close to being 100% physically, mentally, everything.

I just wanted this one badly. My first mixed doubles title, it definitely exceeded my expectations.
|
I knew (Pin) was not going to overpower me. Sometimes in the windy conditions you have to be very careful to overdo it and you have to work your point out there.
|
I knew I had to come up with a great game and I did.
|
I knew that I had to be right there from the start. I knew I couldn't give her any momentum.
|
I know I can last three sets now, especially mentally. That was the biggest weapon I had today. I would have been pretty hard on myself if I had lost this match because I had it totally under control.
|
I know I'll get some tough matches and it will allow me to get used to the Australian summer coming from the European winter, both of which will be helpful with my preparation for the Australian Open.
|
I know she's a little girl so she's not going to overpower me. I don't think she really has a big weapon but neither does she have a weakness.
|
I love coming back here, this stadium has been so good to me.
|
I played some good tennis in Australia and it's good to be back in Tokyo. It's a new week against new opponents and we're all aiming to be the best.
|
I played well. I didn't miss much on key points and I put a lot of pressure on her. I couldn't ask for much more, she's the No. 4 player in the world.
|
I saw her when she was 12 and she was very good even then. You could hear her from like 10 courts further down.
|
I served very well in the first set, I held my serve and that was key just like yesterday. I won with my heart today. Winning the tiebreak gave me confidence.
|
I still love the game.
|
I still need to do this and that but I've played a couple of tournaments now and I feel I can get better ... I love coming back here, this stadium has been so good to me.
