I was feeling very weird out there today. In general, I was just felt very empty out there today. All of a sudden I was going for wide backhands, felt no power in my legs to push off and to create the power that you have to create. |
I was getting tired and I think the rest I'm getting now is coming at the perfect time. |
I was happier winning my first round than winning a tournament, just because it's a satisfaction because you've put so much work into it, ... You realize how quickly it could be gone. That's why you enjoy each match because it can happen again. |
I was not aggressive enough in the first set and I did not take advantage, but after that I put her under pressure. |
I was not seeing the ball well at all today, |
I was seeing the ball a little better today and didn't make all those unforced errors, |
I was seeing the ball really well today, |
I was seeing the ball really well today, ... I knew I needed to be aggressive. There was a lot of wind out there, they were not easy conditions. |

I wasn't playing my best tennis at all for a set and a half, but I was still fighting. I was defending well and I think that's kept me in a lot of games. We had a lot of long rallies, and I think that got her tired. |
I wasn't really thinking about the score. I just tried to keep fighting and just kept running for each ball. |
I wasn't thinking about the score. I just tried to keep fighting and running for each ball. It was important that I was serving well. I was making some easy first serves. |
I watched Million Dollar Baby last night, ... I hadn't seen that before. I was actually crying, (thinking) 'Oh my God, this is terrible.' I didn't know anything about the movie (but) I knew it won the Oscar. |
I will definitely learn something from competing because it's not very often that I get a chance to compete against so many of the world's top players. |
I will have an extra incentive of course to win because of the way it ended in Melbourne. But I just hope we both play a good aggressive game like we've done in the past. |
