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.
enjoy great lost matches means playing since twice victory win
I've lost to her some big matches already, ... It's great to win some, as well. Any victory means a lot. For some reason, since my injury, they mean twice as much now. I enjoy it a lot more. I'm playing well. I don't think I could have done much better with my preparation.
enjoy happen happier match quickly realize round winning work
I was happier winning my first round than winning a tournament, just because it's a satisfaction because you've put so much work into it, ... You realize how quickly it could be gone. That's why you enjoy each match because it can happen again.
career enjoy matter shot
Now I have a completely different attitude. No matter what I do, I'm going to go for it because my career could be over very soon. That's why I want to go out there and enjoy every shot I can hit.
enjoying playing
I think that's why I'm playing so well - I'm enjoying myself.
career enjoy shot wrist
I'm going to go for it because, you know, 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 just want to go out there and just enjoy every shot that I can hit.

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.
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.
diamond early games goodbye maybe stopping
I see myself stopping in 2007 or early 2008 after the Antwerp Diamond Games. Maybe I will still play the Diamond Games in 2008 as a goodbye tournament, but that will be it.
