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.
ball easy knew needed seeing wind
I was seeing the ball really well today, ... I knew I needed to be aggressive. There was a lot of wind out there, they were not easy conditions.

balls best defending incredible player touch
She's probably the best defending player out there at the moment, ... She's very fit. She just has this incredible touch with her hands, especially with her slice. I mean, she can just keep getting those balls back.
ball definitely harder hits improve matches played previous rhythm
She definitely hits the ball a lot harder than she used to when I played her in the previous times. By getting more matches and more rhythm and everything, she's going to improve even more.

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.
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.
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.
ball exactly great hitting moving ready
My preparations haven't exactly been great but I am here and ready to play. I am hitting the ball well and moving okay.
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.
arm ball bit feeling great hitting imagine overall playing seeing using
I feel like I'm a little bit restricted, especially with the serve. I feel like I'm just using my arm out there. I feel like I'm not really doing too much with my movement. But overall I feel like I'm hitting the ball well. I'm hitting the ball clean, I'm seeing the ball well. That's why it's even more frustrating because just imagine if I would be feeling fine. It would be a great feeling to have, just playing well and not having too many other things going on.
