But I never look ahead in a Grand Slam. A lot of things can change. |
Doing all those tedious things in rehab made me more disciplined and focused on the things I have to do for my tennis. |
Especially against her, I've lost some big matches already. It's great to win some, as well. |
Especially for such a big event, with so many good players, yeah, it was a quick one. |
Even when I was injured last year, when I started playing again, you get motivated, |
Even when she's on the run, she can hit it so hard and flat. That's definitely one of her strengths. |
Every day I hope it improves. But I'm sort of waiting every day and see how it feels. So I can't tell you yet (if I'm going to play). |
Every month, I have to improve and I have to add something. I'm going to try to do it for two more years, try to give myself 100 percent and then we'll see where it goes. |
Everything has to be right tomorrow, ... I have to serve well, I have to hit the corners. If you don't do that, that's what she does...From the moment I get a shorter ball and have a chance, I have to play aggressive and mix it up. |
For me, tennis is important but it's not the most important thing in my life. |
For me, this is my first time here in Toronto in this the new stadium, ... This is great. We're very lucky to be playing in a stadium like this. |
Having this momentum coming in is good for my confidence, it's helped a lot, |
Hopefully it will get better. It's a lot better than what it was when it happened. |
I always have really good matches against her. I always look forward to playing against her because you always have -- she's not a girl who's going to hit you off the court. She's not a girl who hits as hard as, let's say, Lindsay Davenport. But she is a girl that moves incredibly well, can come up with really good shots and never gives up. That's fun to play against someone like that. You can really go for your shots. You always have to expect every ball back again. It's fun to play these kind of matches. |
I am very disappointed to have to withdraw from Indian Wells. I re-aggravated the right ankle that I injured in Australia, and now require some time off to get back to 100 percent. Indian Wells has always been one of my favorite tournaments, and I am very much looking forward to playing there next year. |
