I just hit the wall, I think. |
I just think that I proved to myself that I can do it, that I'm up there with the best of them, ... Everything that happened happened for a reason. Maybe that's the reason I'm sitting here with this trophy. |
I knew I had to put in twice the effort if I wanted to come back. |
I knew that once I could break her rhythm a little bit and keep getting enough balls back that eventually she would miss, and she did, |
I know after the match in Stanford that I have to be ready. But maybe she will be tired because she has done a lot of traveling in the last couple of weeks having been to Beijing. |
I know from day one that people have been saying that (I am favorite), |
I know how my body is feeling now and that is the main reason, |
I know how my body is feeling now and that, for me, is the main reason, ... For the next two years ... I'll just have to look after my body, make sure I have massages every day, do my knee exercises, my shoulder exercises and my core exercises. There's so much. I need to do all those things if I want to be able to play as well as I have been. That's why, after the U.S. Open, I'm going to have a long break ... just to make sure that everything is right again and that I recover well. |
I know that he's happy. I have spoken to him. I am obviously going to speak to him (again). They're both happy and that's all that I wanted for them. |
I know that I didn't play bad points there, ... She had to come up with good shots, and she did. Obviously, it was a little frustrating. I was saying to myself, she came up with those shots at the last minute. Let her do that again if she wants to beat me. |
I know that I'm going to have to work hard, keep working hard, and not because of this victory think, "I'm back." I don't think like that. I'll definitely work hard. Things are not going to be easy. I might lose first round next week. You never know. |
I know that I'm not going to get tired if I have to play a third set, and that's a great feeling to have -- knowing that that's not going to be a problem for me. I can go out there and play that third set, knowing that it's going to take my opponent to play good tennis to beat me. |
I look forward to get going again. I am hitting the ball well again. That is the most important thing. |
I lost a little bit of my footwork, |
I lost a little bit of my footwork. I wasn't as on my toes anymore. At 5-4, I started to be a little more aggressive again. I think I wasn't being aggressive enough anymore at 4-1. That made her come back into that first set. |
