I don't know if that's actually the case, but it makes her feel better to say that. At least she still has a purpose. She didn't beat herself up about it and have it affect her in the doubles. She moved beyond it. |
It's perfect preparation for next week to have a tough match on Friday. The whole match was about being observant and trying to start putting together a game plan. |
Losing is hard, and they are kids. As we get older, we have a different perspective about these things. Sometimes in the moment, the match seems more significant and important than it really is. |
Our top three players thrive on pressure. They believe they can do it, even if they're playing poorly. It's just a matter of will. |
They are pretty tough kids. They don't come from backgrounds where they've had life given to them. And they've always been willing to rise up to the challenge. |
We lived up to our seeds (Monday), at least. We just don't have a lot of depth. |
We've got, in our top three, a lot of experience. They thrive on the pressure. |
When they get into that mode, when they believe they can, they can. |
