Other matches against her have been like this. I've led 5-1 or 5-2 and then let it slip away. Today I just tried to stay concentrated to the end and not get negative.
Believe me, I've had things go against me many times, plenty of times. I deserve to get a call once in a while. One point, I don't think, changed the match.
There's no timetable right now. I can't say one way or the other, but I'm not retired by all means.
She started playing better in the second set, playing like she had nothing to lose, ... I had to stay in there and stick it out.
It's tough to focus in these conditions. I just hope we don't have to wait all day.
I think the little difference was that she made a few more mistakes than usual and starting playing better too late in the match,
This is the hardest thing I've ever done. The rehab has not gone as expected.
I didn't even, like, look at it. It was close. I was just going to do what the umpire said,
You know, I'm confident before I go out and play a match that I know, you know, I've put in the work and like I feel confident that I am going to go out there and play well.
I was an emotional basket case.
I had an instinct before and maybe now I don't have that instinct as much as knowing what to do, what shots to hit, where to place the ball, things like that.
I do still have some of the experience from playing, but it's been so long since I've been out in those quarters, semis, finals, the important final matches, just against the top players.
Coming back after the layoff, I wasn't really sure what to expect.
But, you know, I just want to play well and have fun playing well.
