easy fighting running serving thinking tried
I wasn't thinking about the score. I just tried to keep fighting and running for each ball. It was important that I was serving well. I was making some easy first serves.
ball seeing
I was not seeing the ball well at all today,

I was not aggressive enough in the first set and I did not take advantage, but after that I put her under pressure.
crowd flags great matter people speak supporting thank travel
I would like to thank all the Belgian people who have been here today, ... We travel all over the world and we go to so many great places, and I think I can speak for Justine, too, no matter where we go there is always a lot of Belgian flags in the crowd supporting us.
against bit court cup date easy fed great hard love playing problem team though tie transition wimbledon
I would love to be part of the team when we will play against the U.S., even though the date is a bit of a problem as it is right after Wimbledon and before Stanford. However, should we be playing on hard court, that Fed Cup tie would be an easy transition and a great preparation for the hard court summer.
body giving
My body is already giving me a lot of problems,
kept mary points tried
Mary kept the points a lot shorter. She tried to go for too much at the Open.
aware ball best experience focus great martina opponent
Martina is a great champion. But when you're out there, you just focus about what you have to do and not think about who you're playing. When you're younger, you're more aware of who your opponent is. But as you get more experience and you play the best players, you don't think about that. You just focus on the ball and on the game.
eight last lindsay shape top tournament
I won't be the only one in shape there, ... Lindsay has been great, too. It is the last tournament for everyone in the top eight and they all will give it their best.

I was getting tired and I think the rest I'm getting now is coming at the perfect time.

It felt good. I'm happy with the way everything is going.

I still have few things to work on but it's the last grand slam of the year and the one I always look forward to.
I think she may even be better now.

I think I can speak for Justine, too. No matter where we go there is always a lot of Belgian flags in the crowd supporting us.
