I made mistakes on those match points but it's like that at times. |
I said, my last years will be my best. |
I think before when I was first coming out on the tour and young, you know, you're very hungry to achieve and to have success and to make money, to win tournaments, to get a high ranking, just to be noticed and get contracts. All those kind of things you just get caught up with. For me now it's different because I have achieved a lot of great things in my career. I don't play for those things anymore now. |
I think I had some troubles in the past just because (we) were friends, Fed Cup team-mates, just know each other so well, spend so much time together, |
I think I was 6-2 down once and won, but never from 6-0. |
I think I'm definitely all-around a better athlete and a competitor, with experience and maturity, ... Mentally I'm stronger. |
I think in about two or three months it will be easier to kind of tell. She's a champion. She's a great tennis player. It's pretty open right now, so it's a good time actually for her to be coming back. |
I think in the past it was just kind of difficult for me to just play my best in this environment, ... I feel that the difference this year for me is the experience and maturing and learning to deal with things in a different way and knowing myself better. |
I think it is possible. Whether it happens, I don't know. |
I thought it was going to be the ending point if I won it. I guess I'll keep playing. |
I was appreciating it more when I came back from my injuries in 2002, ... My success this year has just been from hard work that I have been putting in over a year and a half. I love what I do. |
I was fairly happy. I played well. I knew I needed to be aggressive today. I played good enough to win. |
I was happy with the way I started out the match, ... I was really playing well. I knew what I needed to do against her. She's a dangerous player if you let her play. The key for me today was hitting the ball hard, being aggressive, hitting it deep. |
I was just hoping it would be better than the last match. |
I was playing unbelievable in the beginning, even my shanks were going in, |
