body good happy hopefully recover tomorrow win
I'm happy with the win but my body doesn't feel too good at the moment. I'm happy to get through and give myself another day off tomorrow and hopefully I'll recover better.
hope sort waiting
Every day I hope it improves. But I'm sort of waiting every day and see how it feels. So I can't tell you yet (if I'm going to play).
affect bed cold early hope legs light sleep training
I have a cold which I hope doesn't affect my legs too much. I will get to bed early and get some sleep before some light training in the morning.
hopefully
Hopefully it will get better. It's a lot better than what it was when it happened.
aggressive both course ended extra game good hope incentive win
I will have an extra incentive of course to win because of the way it ended in Melbourne. But I just hope we both play a good aggressive game like we've done in the past.
beat best champion defending excited fans great hopefully opportunity russia together
We're all very excited and for the fans here in Belgium, it's a great opportunity to see us together and hopefully we can live up to the expectations. Russia is the defending champion and we'll have to play our best to beat them.
good hands luckily sure
I'm sure I was in good hands up there. Luckily I made it back.
again bad beat came good last points saying shots wants
I know that I didn't play bad points there, ... She had to come up with good shots, and she did. Obviously, it was a little frustrating. I was saying to myself, she came up with those shots at the last minute. Let her do that again if she wants to beat me.
both happy obviously speak spoken
I know that he's happy. I have spoken to him. I am obviously going to speak to him (again). They're both happy and that's all that I wanted for them.
beat feeling good great knowing opponent problem tennis third tired
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,
couple last match maybe stanford tired traveling weeks
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.
came fights-and-fighting kept means proud seems staying win
I'm really proud how I came back to win tonight. I kept fighting, kept staying in the points, and I got her tired, as well. It means a lot. As the years go on, every big win seems to mean a lot more.
