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.
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.
bit lost
I lost a little bit of my footwork,
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.
amazing believe bit feeling hard last year
It's very hard to believe and an amazing feeling to have, ... After being out for so much of last year it's a little bit more special.
bit consistent good serves suffering three tonight
I started off better tonight than in the first match. I had three really good games, but then I couldn't keep it going. I'm still not consistent enough, and I haven't been getting enough first serves in. I'm still suffering from a bit of a cold, which hasn't helped.
ball bit couple days hit last took touching until
It just took me a while to get used to the new stadium, ... I didn't hit a ball the last two days until my warm-up today. I just wanted to have a couple days off without touching the racquet. Didn't want to have anything to do with tennis. I think you just have to get used to it a little bit again.
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.
bit came chance felt short
I had the chance to do it, but I came a bit short and I felt it in my legs.
balls bit break eventually knew rhythm
I knew that once I could break her rhythm a little bit and keep getting enough balls back that eventually she would miss, and she did,
attitude career enjoy matter missed realized shot wrist
I've realized a lot more how much I missed tennis, ... That's the whole completely different attitude that I have now. No matter what I do, I'm going for it because it could be over. If I get another wrist injury, if I have anything else, my career could be over very soon. That's why I want to go out there and just enjoy every shot that I can hit.
again hard packing settled start
It was very hard for me to start packing again because I was getting settled at home.
either good hit lines rhythm straight tough win
It was tough to find a good rhythm out there tonight, ... She went for everything and either hit the lines or made unforced errors. But I did everything I had to do to win to win in straight sets.
came gave match points third
It was tough, ... I gave everything I had on those match points and she just came up with better shots. I said from the third set on, 'Just go for it.' It worked.
