I've been playing well. I've won a lot of good matches here in the past. I'm just glad I'm healthy, |
I've had a long three, four weeks but this just tops it off being in another final. It was a fun game today. |
I've lost to her some big matches already, ... It's great to win some, as well. Any victory means a lot. For some reason, since my injury, they mean twice as much now. I enjoy it a lot more. I'm playing well. I don't think I could have done much better with my preparation. |
I've realized a lot more how much I missed tennis, ... That's the whole completely different attitude that I have now. No matter what I do, I'm going for it because it could be over. If I get another wrist injury, if I have anything else, my career could be over very soon. That's why I want to go out there and just enjoy every shot that I can hit. |
If being the year-end number one was my main goal, I would have entered more tournaments. If it happens, great. If it doesn't, that's not going to make my year worse. |
If I win it, yes, then I'll think about it. For now, that's not important. |
If you don't do that, if you don't go for your shots, they're just too good. You have to try from the moment you get a second serve or a weaker first serve, just go for it. |
In my mind as well I was positive, focused, and it was definitely a big step forward compared to yesterday. My serve was on most of the time. I felt good and was hitting the lines. |
It can change so quickly. That was the frustrating part. I felt like I was controlling the rallies in the first and the beginning of the second set, and all of a sudden you just lose all the feeling of your strokes. That's tennis sometimes. |
It felt good. I'm happy with the way everything is going. |
It is a nice start for me, ... I had to make sure I kept the pressure on and stayed aggressive. |
It just took me a while to get used to the new stadium, ... I didn't hit a ball the last two days until my warm-up today. I just wanted to have a couple days off without touching the racquet. Didn't want to have anything to do with tennis. I think you just have to get used to it a little bit again. |
It was a fun game, ... I had a long three or four weeks already, this just tops it all off. I'm happy to be in another final. |
It was a great movie, but I didn't think it was going to end like that, |
It was a harder match than the score indicated. I felt quite good. I did what I had to do. |
