I had everything in my hands. I had 40-15 up. I felt if I could get the game, I would win the match. |
I just feel like I simply gave it away. I had all the chances in the first set...I mean, there's nothing I can do about it now. I can just go through my mistakes and get my head cleared from all this and just move forward. |
I just feel like I simply gave it away. It couldn't be a better present. |
I just took everything into my hands. |
I just took everything into my hands. I tried to sometimes be more precise, not go for angles, just put the ball in the court. I was really forcing her to do those mistakes. That actually worked out well today. Serving very good helped me to finish off the match easily. |
I just tried to ignore him completely. I didn't look at his side once. |
I just wanted to get used to the surface, and I don't want to spend so much energy here, ... I'll try to play my best game and keep the points short. |
I just wasn't feeling well this morning, and it became even worse as the match progressed. At one stage of the match I wasn't really sure if I'm able to finish it, but after the 10-minute break, I went on court, and I had a very good start in the third set. |
I knew it would be tough, especially because Patty is playing in great form, ... But I beat her two years ago and I was certain I had the potential to repeat this success. |
I now know that no matter what happens out there, how badly I play or how badly I feel, I can still find the strength in me and win it. When I have a difficult time on court again, I will probably think of this final. |
I really dominated my games. |
I really dominated my games. She played a few good points ... I put so much pressure on here, I ended up with the match quite easy. |
I really had a difficult time today. Maybe it has to do with all the matches I have played. Energy-wise I wasn't in the best of shape. At one stage in the match I wasn't really sure if I was able to finish it. |
I really wasn't thinking I would get far this week. But I'm quite glad I could pull myself together and play my best tennis and be able to hold a trophy. |
I wanted to finish the match as fast as I could, ... Sometimes, I dehydrated and lost energy. |
