I don't think I can change anything in my game, ... I feel disappointed with this loss, but at the same time I know how well I can play. It wasn't my day (Thursday) and she was playing unbelievably well. It's more than two days before I'll play my first match in the U.S. Open so I'll be OK. |
I don't think that was the turning point. But opening up a 3-0 lead was very important as it clearly bothered Amelie and I was feeling confident. |
I don't think there was one particular game that changed anything. I just don't think it was my day today. |
I feel extremely happy. I didn't expect to beat Martina. I was trying real hard and I'm happy I could win. |
I feel like I never play well here. |
I feel like my first serve is getting better. But the second serve, I still slice it too much. |
I feel much stronger now and I know what it takes to reach a grand slam final. I just feel I need to take one more step and I think I can do that this year. |
I felt I was playing well, even in the second set. I told myself to keep playing aggressively, to keep her moving as I felt fresh and she looked tired. |
I felt like it was a very close match. We know each other very well and it was just a question of a couple of points who was going to be the winner today. |
I had a feeling I'm playing against a wall. She was playing every single ball back to me and she was moving great. She likes to hit flat, she stayed aggressive, she was patient, she was waiting for my mistakes. The whole match, so consistent. |
I had a very slow start and it was a tough match, she's a very talented young player and it's not easy to play against her, so I was very happy that I was able to win this match. |
I have never seen her playing that well. |
I have played Mary a couple of times before but right now she is a completely different player, |
I haven't set any big goals for myself this year. I just want to increase the level of my game. I am trying to get a better serve. I know that can help me win a big title. |
I hope she wins, ... I think she's a great player, and I'd like another chance against her. There is extra motivation for me ... knowing that I have a chance to play next week. |
