Going overseas is a vacation. There's so much going on at home. There's other things in our life, so we need to get that extreme focus back. |
I much prefer playing with her than against her. |
I really wanted to win this tournament. We lost [in the final] last week and when I reviewed the video, that really was a match we should have won. I really wasn't myself this weekend, but fortunately Misty picked us up with plays at the end of matches the way she always does. |
I think the first time we played them it was a rivalry. You could see how great they were going to be and obviously they were going to improve. |
It's a huge reward, |
It's a lot of fun going to these things because you get to see a lot of the other athletes and people from the city. The day we won the medal, we went to the Sports Illustrated party because it's the party to go to. |
On the beach, the attitudes are more progressive, so it would be cool to do that as a subset of what we already do - as long as we play on a guy's net, so guys don't spike in our faces. |
People think we have coasted the last four years. We fought, we had a lot of battles. ... We've always had to battle. |
They just played great, and we were not in sync. They earned the win. I hope it never happens again, and we know what we have to do. |
They're a great team and this tour has been growing incrementally over the past four years that we've been on it. Right now it's Rachel, Elaine and Misty and I. We came up short, but we lost to a great team today. |
We complement each other very well. |
We were very aggressive, and when we're aggressive, it's hard to stop us, |
What's not to love about us! People got to know Misty and me in Athens. We've continued to be successful and continued to connect with the fans. I promise we're going to be tough to get rid of. |
