injured players sure
I'm sure all the players that are injured are going to be there.
balls best defending incredible player touch
She's probably the best defending player out there at the moment, ... She's very fit. She just has this incredible touch with her hands, especially with her slice. I mean, she can just keep getting those balls back.

early extra grand motivated nice people player provide talk win
It's too early to talk about that. It was nice the way the people reacted there (in Belgium) after she won. I think that's great. Any player would like to win a Grand Slam. But that doesn't provide any extra motivation. I've always been very motivated at the Grand Slams.
against great means players victory
It's always great to come back against players like this. And this victory means a lot. But it's not over.
beat few great lost players
It's always great to beat players that you've lost to a few times.
form good players playing tough
There are a lot of good players here this week, but Amelie is in form and playing well so she will be tough to beat.
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.
physically player plays powerful reads strong tactically
That's why she's so strong in her game, because physically she's not the most powerful player out there. But she just reads it so well and plays it tactically so well.
player quit
I'm not the kind of player who is going to quit for nothing.
build few likes missing past player
I'm a player who likes to play a lot of matches. That's something I'll have to build up again. The past few months, that has been a disadvantage. That's what I'm missing right now.
best excited hard player stupid tennis time waste work
It makes you also realize, 'OK, I'm excited to play tennis, and I work really hard to be the best tennis player I think I can be,' but I don't waste my time on stupid stuff, you know what I mean.
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.
