[Petrova charged back and had two points to level the set at 5-5 but double-faulted and missed an easy backhand.] I felt if I could get that game, she would be fragile, ... that I could have won the match. |
All they do is talk and their contribution doesn't go beyond mere words. |
At the beginning it took me a while to adjust to the lights, ... I found it difficult to see the ball and struggled a little on my return of serve. Other than that though, I think I served well and played well on important points. |
Definitely it's going to be very exciting and I'm very happy I've played lots of matches on clay so at the moment I'm feeling very confident. I'm really looking forward to the first match. I really enjoy the competition. Playing matches now, I feel much more relaxed on court and I think much clearer and that helps me a lot. |
Every year, I've been doing better and better, playing more consistent and winning more matches. Hopefully, I'll get more and more titles this year. |
Hopefully, third time I'll be working. |
I am absolutely delighted with my effort. I played my best match here in Doha today against probably the best player of the tournament. |

I am very disappointed I can't play. I was looking forward to my semi-final match. |
I couldn't serve today, ... I've been struggling with a right pectoral strain since my last tournament, and yesterday after my three set match it seemed to get worse. I tried to fight through it, but in the third set it really started to hurt. Then my serve was just very off. |
I didn't expect it to be so easy today because Vera is a consistent hitter but it seems today she couldn't cope with the wind. |
I do have a couple of people. I have someone in Germany that I like to try out. I heard good things about him. So I'm just going to try out. |
I feel pretty happy because that's my first win against a top 10 player. |
I felt like she couldn't make huge winners against me on this surface. |
I had 40-15 up, I had everything in my hands, ... I don't know where the double fault came from, then I made two errors. |
