I'm very disappointed, the way the whole final went. I was never really feeling my game. My serve was not really there, and also maybe she struggled for two, three games, but I could not really take advantage of it. |
I'm very happy to be in the semis, ... I told the crowd 'please support me from the first point on tomorrow.' |
If I want to win, it's like she has to play less than 100 percent. If I want to beat her, really everything has to go my way. It's just very few times that that can happen. |
In the end, it comes down to a few big points. If you make them, you win. |
It hurt a bit, |
It hurt a bit, ... I thought we were in Switzerland. I played my heart out all match, and all I heard were people cheering 'Flavia' and 'Italy.' They got behind me in the second set, but I wish they'd been with me from the start. |
It was a little closer than the score indicates, ... I'm playing with a lot of confidence right now, and I hope I can go a lot further. |
It was a little closer than the score indicates, but I felt it was a good first match. I'm playing with a lot of confidence right now after this season and I hope I can go a lot further in this tournament. |
It was a really tough match and I was lucky to save the match point. And I am looking forward to winning two more matches here. |
It was really tough. She had a pretty good run in the second set and I really had to fight back and focus on every point. But I was really happy the way it turned out at the end of the second set and I feel ready for my next opponent. |
It will be a classic. She's just one of the great champions of the last 10 years. |
It's great that we are so successful and that tennis is booming in our country. As for having Martina being back, it's incredible. |
It's just amazing that I could come back and win it at the end. |
It's the first tournament of the year, but I love being in Australia and I love the conditions. It's a great chance for me to go even further than last year. |
My serve was on. She struggled a bit with her reach, but I am happy with the way I played. |
