I feel a little more tired than usual, ... I've had to recover from everything, my illnesses and things this summer. It's not perfect circumstances, but I'm definitely going to be out there and hopefully have my letdown after the Open ... I think I'll go in mentally a lot better. When it comes down to it I don't think anyone really wants to play me because I have a lot of weapons and not a ton of weaknesses. My main weakness would probably be an occasional self-destruction mode. So I'll try not to touch that red button accidentally. |
I feel amazing right now. I just feel like dancing. |
I feel like I played well, it was one of my best matches this year, everything's getting better. |
I feel like when I'm trying to step it up, I will. I feel like I can get the best out of me, |
I felt like I had an opportunity at 5-3 to break, but I didn't get that, ... Then 5-4, I had a pretty bad service game, two double faults. I think Serena had like a monster return or two that I couldn't do anything with, which happens if you're playing Serena Williams. At that point it was just all about sticking in there. |
I guess I shouldn't expect anything less from Serena Williams. |
I had a lot of opportunities, but she definitely played the best. I don't know if I'll take some time off. Sometimes your youth seems to pass you by because of work. I sometimes feel like I want to be young. |
I had some great matches but I didn't play too hot today. |
I have a lot of respect for her. She was my favorite player growing up. That's why I started grunting; I wanted to be like Monica. |
I have to thank God, thank you for letting me be healthy, |
I just couldn't play today's match, ... I'm not fit enough to play professional tennis and so I shouldn't be out there. It's really disappointing because I was having such a great time at this tournament. |
I just felt like under normal circumstances I really felt like I would have been able to win that match, |
I just got a little earlier at about one o'clock, so I just enjoy it and enjoy here, |
I just somehow fell off my form. But it's the beginning of the year and I feel like I still have a lot of success ahead of me. It's just my first event. |
I just tried to stay positive and not float away mentally, ... I'm at the end of the line, I've arrived in the finals. It's good for me. Got to see what's left tomorrow. And even if there's nothing left like today, I'll still find something. I just wanted to win. |
