fitter hopes next return talk
I talk to him every day and he is getting fitter and hopes to return in Rotterdam next week.
against easy missed several
It was difficult, as it always is when I play against another Russian. I missed several easy shots.
thinking trying too-much
I try to do something good, but when it doesn't go good, then I go like too much into myself, what I'm doing right, wrong, instead of thinking more what I have to do with the ball,
brain coaches ifs
It’s my brain. I know exactly what I have to do, but if I’m not using my brain, I’m not doing the things my coach is telling me.
girl pay way
I'm not the girl to keep all the emotions I have inside. I guess I have to pay lots of fines because that's the way I am,
stupid book writing
You need to write a book, what's going on with my serve. It's disaster. I don't bend my legs. Instead of jumping forward, I'm kicking it too much instead of hitting it. ... I drop my head, I don't hold the left arm. It's so much, that you just - I don't know. I know this, and I'm still so stupid that I continue doing it.
missed played
I think I played well today. I just missed some really important shots.
against believe happen means might playing seen session training win
I really wanted to win here tonight. In the quarterfinals I should be playing against Kim, and that means something to me. I've never been able to win against her and it might happen this time. However, I've seen her at a training session and I pretty much believe she's fit.
behind last memory time win
I really want to win and put the memory of the last time behind me.
hardest losing match time virtually wondering wrong
The hardest time for me was right after Roland Garros. I was wondering what was wrong with my game, why I was losing virtually every match I was playing.
