I think I will quit at the end of 2007. My body already has a lot of problems now.

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.

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.
