Maybe it was going too easy for me. I hung in there and I ended well, that's the most important thing.

There's a lot of tough players out there. My next match is going to be very tough, too. There's not going to be any easy matches anymore.
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.
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.

I know that I'm not going to get tired if I have to play a third set, and that's a great feeling to have -- knowing that that's not going to be a problem for me. I can go out there and play that third set, knowing that it's going to take my opponent to play good tennis to beat me.
effort knew twice
I knew I had to put in twice the effort if I wanted to come back.
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,

I know after the match in Stanford that I have to be ready. But maybe she will be tired because she has done a lot of traveling in the last couple of weeks having been to Beijing.
