It's not my victory. It's a team effort. All the girls played their part. |
It's really a great start to the year no matter whether it's an exhibition or not. I was trying to play my best and I really did it. |
Kim is not ranked number one on the world but for me at the moment she is the best player on the tour. It's like she's all over the place all the time. But it will be great to play her. |
Like I said, it was a difficult match to play after four hours waiting. You know when you play against Patty Schnyder , you're very focused on what she likes to do, what she doesn't like to do. |
Martina is a good player and it's exciting to see her back. But that doesn't mean I won't be playing and I'll do everything possible to beat her. |
Maybe I was a little bit angry in the second set, but then I know if I want to win this match, I have to be focused, not think about what she did, ... ... I didn't take advantage of the first set, that I was playing so good. ... I just gave her a chance to play better in the second set, and she took the advantage of this. |
She deserved to win this one, I was a little bit lucky, ... I have no excuse for serving like that. |
She didn't participate for two years. She was telling the captain she was going to play but she hasn't. So I don't think she wants to play. |
She had a match point, but I never give up, ... You just go for it. |
She has really improved a lot in the last two years. She didn't even drop a set here so it's going to be a very tough match. |
She mixed it up with her serve very well and I couldn't break her. She has a great serve, a very solid game, all she needs is to move like she did today. She could be in the top five. |
She played well in the first two sets, ... I just continued to play the same game in the third set and remain aggressive. The plan was to run Pierce all over the court as we thought that I was the stronger player physically. |
She was playing very well and it was a tough first match for me. |
She was very aggressive from the first ball. She moved me around very well. I was playing kind of defensive all the time and that's what I don't like to do. |
She's very aggressive and hits a heavy ball, |
