I was going home after the US Open, but I changed my mind, |
I was overexcited to play the first match in so many months, ... I was probably gripping the racquet 10 times as hard. |

I'd still say that the Olympic medal has been the highlight of my career so far, because it's something you can never take away, ... But winning a Tier I event is definitely another step forward. |
I'm extremely disappointed, ... However I feel like my body isn't allowing me to play so I can't fight that. I hope to be back next year. |
I'm here because I would like to give myself a good draw. |
I'm sure she'll be upbeat and I'll make every effort to make sure she is enjoying herself. |
If I'd have lost that first set, I would probably have got pretty down on myself. I was very lucky to get out of that, |
In this type of field where you have the top four or five players in the world and you've got many from the top 15, any draw is a tough one, |
It was a win, which is great and fantastic, |
It was an opportunity to spend time with my family and live a normal life back in Australia, ... When you?re traveling a lot, you hope for some time off, but having that amount of time off from the game, you realize how much you miss it. I have to admit that. |
It was very humid, but the conditions weren't really a factor in the result today, |
It's easy to say there's always next week, but if you let those feelings drag you down and pre-occupy your mind, you can almost go mad, |
It's really disappointing because that's a match I would normally find a way to win ? playing good or bad, I would normally have a back-up plan to win and I didn't have that today at all, |
Maria played great, but I hung in there because I knew I'd get some opportunities, |
