ankle favorite forward indian injured looking next playing require time withdraw
I am very disappointed to have to withdraw from Indian Wells. I re-aggravated the right ankle that I injured in Australia, and now require some time off to get back to 100 percent. Indian Wells has always been one of my favorite tournaments, and I am very much looking forward to playing there next year.
easy match matches next players tough
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.
heal longer next percent sports takes worry
Now I feel that everything takes a lot longer to heal and I am only 22. When I'm 30, 35, I still want to be able to play a lot of sports without having to a lot of things to worry about. I'm going to give myself 200 percent for the next two seasons. I think I'm going to go for it and I'm going to give everything I have.
body main maybe minutes next rest
I will rest for the most part, maybe do about 20 minutes of ball-hitting. The main thing is to get my body right for the next game.
again body break core exercises feeling knee main next recover shoulder sure
I know how my body is feeling now and that, for me, is the main reason, ... For the next two years ... I'll just have to look after my body, make sure I have massages every day, do my knee exercises, my shoulder exercises and my core exercises. There's so much. I need to do all those things if I want to be able to play as well as I have been. That's why, after the U.S. Open, I'm going to have a long break ... just to make sure that everything is right again and that I recover well.
definitely next
I'll definitely be back next year, ... I am very superstitious, so I will keep doing it.
definitely lose might next round work
I know that I'm going to have to work hard, keep working hard, and not because of this victory think, 'I'm back.' I don't think like that. I'll definitely work hard. Things are not going to be easy. I might lose first round next week. You never know.
work thinking next-week
"I know that I'm going to have to work hard, keep working hard, and not because of this victory think, "I'm back." I don't think like that. I'll definitely work hard. Things are not going to be easy. I might lose first round next week. You never know."
few gotten last longer next percent seasons serious takes
I'm going to give myself 200 percent for the next two more seasons after this, ... in the last few years I've gotten a lot more serious injuries. I feel like everything takes a lot longer to heal, and I'm still only 22.
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.
