People come up to me here and say, 'This is your year,' ... but I know it's not easy. You always have to focus. |
Physically I feel healthy and that's the most important thing. That makes me ready to go at Flushing Meadows, although that doesn't mean I'm going to win it. |
Physically it will be a difficult match, a lot tougher than today, |
Players, obviously, we're going to do whatever is best for us and our bodies, |
Playing here is the best feeling I have ever had on a tennis court. |

She just played great tennis, ... I don't think I played my best tennis in any of those matches. But tomorrow has nothing to do with those matches. |
She just reads it so well and plays it tactically so well. I think by getting more matches and more rhythm she's going to improve even more. |

She made a couple of easy mistakes when I was defending well, |
She started really well. No matter how well I played in the first set, I think she would have won it. |
She's a good friend of mine, ... It's going to be fun out there tomorrow. |
She's a great girl, really fun and the public love her. She really plays and she never gives up - I have a lot of fun when I play her. |
