best consistent playing
When you play someone like Lindsay, you have to play some of your best tennis, and I did that for a while. I was playing really well, just not consistent enough.
aggressive errors gets hitting match means playing produce step sure winners
You have to try to make sure that you are one step ahead, ... That means I'll probably have to take some more risks. That's how you're going to produce errors from the other side, if you keep playing aggressive tennis. If you're going to let her get into the match by just hitting winners all the time, that's when she gets confident.
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.
again battle found indian miami obviously playing
Obviously it was really frustrating. I had been playing so well in Indian Wells and Miami and then I found myself having to battle again to find my rhythm.
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.
best feeling playing tennis
Playing here is the best feeling I have ever had on a tennis court.
enjoying playing
I think that's why I'm playing so well - I'm enjoying myself.
court focused moving opening patient playing stayed throughout
I think I stayed very focused and very patient throughout the whole match, ... Even when I was 4-1 up, I was playing really well at the start. I was moving around, just from side-to-side, opening up the court a lot.
arm ball bit feeling great hitting imagine overall playing seeing using
I feel like I'm a little bit restricted, especially with the serve. I feel like I'm just using my arm out there. I feel like I'm not really doing too much with my movement. But overall I feel like I'm hitting the ball well. I'm hitting the ball clean, I'm seeing the ball well. That's why it's even more frustrating because just imagine if I would be feeling fine. It would be a great feeling to have, just playing well and not having too many other things going on.
lucky playing stadium time toronto
For me, this is my first time here in Toronto in this the new stadium, ... This is great. We're very lucky to be playing in a stadium like this.
best definitely playing quite tennis today
Today I definitely didn't feel like I was playing my best tennis but I was doing enough to get through quite comfortably.
against ball expect forward fun girl gives good hard hit hits incredibly lindsay matches moves playing shots
I always have really good matches against her. I always look forward to playing against her because you always have -- she's not a girl who's going to hit you off the court. She's not a girl who hits as hard as, let's say, Lindsay Davenport. But she is a girl that moves incredibly well, can come up with really good shots and never gives up. That's fun to play against someone like that. You can really go for your shots. You always have to expect every ball back again. It's fun to play these kind of matches.
best defending kept playing tennis
I wasn't playing my best tennis at all for a set and a half, but I was still fighting. I was defending well and I think that's kept me in a lot of games. We had a lot of long rallies, and I think that got her tired.
against bit court cup date easy fed great hard love playing problem team though tie transition wimbledon
I would love to be part of the team when we will play against the U.S., even though the date is a bit of a problem as it is right after Wimbledon and before Stanford. However, should we be playing on hard court, that Fed Cup tie would be an easy transition and a great preparation for the hard court summer.
