There's not much you can do. |
They're such survivors. I'm sure they're gonna bounce back. |
This is definitely one of the more relieving matches I've had. Making the last eight coming into this event, I would have never thought I got that far. Now here I am. |
This year I definitely have more matches than her -- that's a plus. Generally it's easier to play somebody like this first round than later in the draw. I have nothing to lose against Justine. |
To beat Lindsay here in Indian Wells, it probably matters a little bit more than anything else. |
Today I had to good win, a good start. Tomorrow you never know....Hopefully it's a good match but I'm not looking too far ahead [to the final]. |
Today probably wasn't the prettiest game, but it was effective. |
Toward the end I just don't want to remember the other finals I played here and lost in the second set. |
Under the circumstances in the heat and not having played for three years, I'd say an eight (out of 10), other times even better. I don't know what else I should have done today better than what I did. The score says it all. |
We both knew what to expect from one another. I was watching her growing up and playing. |
We were just breaking each other, and most times pretty easily. It was very difficult conditions. I think that today whoever had the stronger head, and stayed in the match, won. |
We worked hard all season to get ourselves into this position, ... I was very happy to be part of this team and get them going. I knew when the guys lost the first set of doubles I had to step up and get us a lead. |
You can always have hopes, right? I thought it might be out. It was a very close call. |
You can't hide. Sooner or later I have to play a top 10 player, better sooner than later. Win or lose, you know where you're at. |
You can't just think they're going to miss. You have to earn your points, you have to make them, you know, do the mistakes.... Sometimes, in the past, it was enough to just wait, wait for your chances. |
