deal feeling strange understand
I feel like I am being penalized because she was injured. It is a strange feeling and one I don't really understand but something I have to deal with. This is just the way it is. But I would like the WTA to show some consistency.

game match strong sure today yesterday
I feel good, I was able to make sure that my game was there this week, ... Physically, I am strong enough. I showed that today after my long match yesterday (Friday).
answer believing best both court goes guess hear hearing moments people sensitive side today tough
You hear it anyway, ... And I guess for a sensitive person, it goes to you at some point, when you are still hearing the same things. But the best answer I can give is on the court and that is what we both did today because Mary, also got some tough moments on her side and people not really believing her being able to come back at that level. This is the best answer we can give to anybody.
events finished guess momentum months period since tough
It's two months now since we finished The Championships. I guess it's tough to keep the momentum going when you have such a long period between these two big events without having competition.

It's great to be in the semi-finals in Doha.
confidence amelie grew
Right now I have more confidence in myself. I grew up.
life-lesson lessons way
Whether it's in the right way or sometimes the wrong way, you learn about life and its lessons.
sports should-have games
We all had, at some point, matches we should have won and we didn't and that's the game. That's just the way the sport is. Otherwise, if everything was written before, we don't need to play.
winning years half
When I finished the juniors I felt, perhaps for about a year and a half, that everything was going to be the same and that I would be able to go out there and win any match. But it wasnt the case. I struggled.
thinking years trying
I think I have handled things pretty well last year and this. What I have to do now is try do it even better.
feelings asking pressure
The day I stop feeling the pressure and I'm just enjoying myself and taking it easy is when I'm 35, asking for a wild card and playing mixed doubles with Arnaud Clement.
long stuff ready
My coach told me I had to expect, you know, some long rallies and stuff. So, you know, I was ready for this.
growing-up winning thinking
Another factor is the education and culture in which you grow up. I didn't grow up in the culture of victory, where you are expected to be or have to be, the best. It was not at all like that in my family. Tennis was really a hobby. If it led to something, great. If not, there were other things in life. I think that was something I was missing at some points in my career, because when I see Hingis or the Williamses, you see how they were educated for this: to win, to be the best, a bit the American mentality. Number one. Number one. Number one. I didn't have this.
