Justine, she's probably the best defending player out there at the moment, ... She's very fit. She just has this incredible touch. … She's improved a lot on her strength as well. She hits the ball harder then what she used to maybe two years ago. |
Martina is a great champion. But when you're out there, you just focus about what you have to do and not think about who you're playing. When you're younger, you're more aware of who your opponent is. But as you get more experience and you play the best players, you don't think about that. You just focus on the ball and on the game. |
Mary kept the points a lot shorter. She tried to go for too much at the Open. |
Maybe it was going too easy for me. I hung in there and I ended well, that's the most important thing. |
Maybe it wasn't my time yet in those Grand Slams. Everything happens for a reason. |
My body is already giving me a lot of problems, |
My injury's not gone. The pain is gone because of the tablets I'm taking. |
My injury's not gone. The pain is gone because of the tablets I'm taking. So that's a good sign that I can be out there and play without feeling the pain. But I know that once I get home there's going to be some work to do. |
My legs were like, oh my god, what's going on, |
My preparations haven't exactly been great but I am here and ready to play. I am hitting the ball well and moving okay. |
My two [WTA] Championships I won are big, but after my [left wrist] surgery, this means more than any win I've ever had before. |
No-one can take that away from me anymore. |
Now I feel that everything takes a lot longer to heal and I am only 22. When I'm 30, 35, I still want to be able to play a lot of sports without having to a lot of things to worry about. I'm going to give myself 200 percent for the next two seasons. I think I'm going to go for it and I'm going to give everything I have. |
Now I have a completely different attitude. No matter what I do, I'm going to go for it because my career could be over very soon. That's why I want to go out there and enjoy every shot I can hit. |
Obviously it was really frustrating. I had been playing so well in Indian Wells and Miami and then I found myself having to battle again to find my rhythm. |
