best feeling playing tennis
Playing here is the best feeling I have ever had on a tennis court.
best whatever
Players, obviously, we're going to do whatever is best for us and our bodies,
against ball expect forward fun girl gives good hard hit hits incredibly lindsay matches moves playing shots
I always have really good matches against her. I always look forward to playing against her because you always have -- she's not a girl who's going to hit you off the court. She's not a girl who hits as hard as, let's say, Lindsay Davenport. But she is a girl that moves incredibly well, can come up with really good shots and never gives up.

That's definitely the frustrating part, because my game depends a lot on my movement and on my footwork. I feel lazy out there because I'm not capable of ... how I normally move. I feel like I'm just using my arm out there.
best happened maybe proved reason sitting
I just think that I proved to myself that I can do it, that I'm up there with the best of them, ... Everything that happened happened for a reason. Maybe that's the reason I'm sitting here with this trophy.
hitting stand sure
I'll have to make sure that I stand on the baseline and make sure that I keep hitting aggressively,
people saying
I know from day one that people have been saying that (I am favorite),
