You just try to play the ball and don't really worry about how she's feeling too much,

We're all very excited and for the fans here in Belgium, it's a great opportunity to see us together and hopefully we can live up to the expectations. Russia is the defending champion and we'll have to play our best to beat them.
body problems quit
I think I will quit at the end of 2007. My body already has a lot of problems now.
felt fresh hit hurt left moving normally previous routine tape today tomorrow treatment wearing
I'm still not moving like I normally can, but a lot better. I just have to do a lot of treatment and everything and that's what I'm doing. I'm not going to hit tomorrow and just keep my routine going so that I'm fresh when I have to be out there. That's why I was wearing my tape today because I felt in my previous match, with the serve, I was just compensating my back a little bit. It started to hurt my left leg, my left hamstring, that's why it's taped today.
ankle balance ball counts difficult fans fine guide head hit mobility normal resting sick spread talking tired using
I'm sick of all these injuries, tired of talking about them as well. My ankle will be taped very well. My mobility won't be a normal 100 percent, but I can see and hit the ball perfectly. I won't be using my spread that much. At this stage, it is important to find the right balance between resting and training. In my head I feel fine and that is what counts the most. I take it the fans will guide me through more difficult moments.
injured players sure
I'm sure all the players that are injured are going to be there.
ball fighting hitting
I'm hitting the ball well, I'm hitting the ball clean. That's the most frustrating part. As long as (the hip) doesn't get worse, I'll keep fighting and see how I go.
best definitely playing quite tennis today
Today I definitely didn't feel like I was playing my best tennis but I was doing enough to get through quite comfortably.

Having this momentum coming in is good for my confidence, it's helped a lot,

tennis
For me, tennis is important but it's not the most important thing in my life.
entered main number year
If being the year-end number one was my main goal, I would have entered more tournaments. If it happens, great. If it doesn't, that's not going to make my year worse.
practiced tough
I don't think I've even practiced in these conditions. It was so tough out there today.
