against aggressive balls crucial early second step win
I had to step in and take the balls early and be aggressive on my second serve, ... To win the first set was crucial against Venus.
aggressive ball hit mix moment serve
Everything has to be right tomorrow, ... I have to serve well, I have to hit the corners. If you don't do that, that's what she does...From the moment I get a shorter ball and have a chance, I have to play aggressive and mix it up.
aggressive errors gets hitting match means playing produce step sure winners
You have to try to make sure that you are one step ahead, ... That means I'll probably have to take some more risks. That's how you're going to produce errors from the other side, if you keep playing aggressive tennis. If you're going to let her get into the match by just hitting winners all the time, that's when she gets confident.
aggressive
This is a real letdown. For myself and for the public. I went for it but I was not aggressive enough.
aggressive game knew second though
The second set I just knew I had to play aggressive and just keep going for the lines. Even though there's a lot of wind, you just have to play your game and not think about it too much.
aggressive anymore bit lost toes
I lost a little bit of my footwork. I wasn't as on my toes anymore. At 5-4, I started to be a little more aggressive again. I think I wasn't being aggressive enough anymore at 4-1. That made her come back into that first set.
again aggressive healthy months played playing pleased ranked stayed today tough win year
I played pretty well today and stayed aggressive because she is a tough opponent, ... This is where it all started for me so I'm really pleased to win again here today. One year ago I was injured, some months ago I was ranked around 130, and right now I am really pleased that I'm healthy and playing well.
against aggressive sure
I think what you have to do when you play against her is just make sure you play aggressive tennis.
aggressive ball bit close felt good played second shame straight third
I think it was going to be a close one. It's a shame it had to happen. I think Amelie played a really good second set. From the start, I felt that she was a little bit more aggressive on the second, third ball straight away...Yeah, very frustrating week.
advantage aggressive
I was not aggressive enough in the first set and I did not take advantage, but after that I put her under pressure.
aggressive both course ended extra game good hope incentive win
I will have an extra incentive of course to win because of the way it ended in Melbourne. But I just hope we both play a good aggressive game like we've done in the past.
against aggressive draw game last mix spin tough year
I feel better this year than I did last year. I've had a really tough draw so far. I really still feel like everything has to be at your best, especially against Amelie. She mixes her game up so well. She can be very aggressive but then she can mix in the slices and the spin ball.
good hands luckily sure
I'm sure I was in good hands up there. Luckily I made it back.
again bad beat came good last points saying shots wants
I know that I didn't play bad points there, ... She had to come up with good shots, and she did. Obviously, it was a little frustrating. I was saying to myself, she came up with those shots at the last minute. Let her do that again if she wants to beat me.
