ball girl harder hits
probably hits the ball harder than any girl out there.
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.

against anyone ball best few harder hits improved last match months played playing serve today tour weeks
That's the best she's ever played against me. When she's on, she hits the ball harder than anyone on the Tour and I think you could see today her serve has improved a lot too. She's always very dangerous... I think for me it was one match too much physically. I've done really well the last few weeks and months to keep playing as well as I have and I had to have a let down at some point.
felt harder match quite score
It was a harder match than the score indicated. I felt quite good. I did what I had to do.
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.
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.

armstrong court happiness happy played quite rhythm since stadium took
I've been happy with how I've played all summer. It took a while to get my rhythm since I hadn't been on Armstrong Stadium court in quite some time.
glad good matches playing won
I've been playing well. I've won a lot of good matches here in the past. I'm just glad I'm healthy,
