armstrong court happiness happy played quite rhythm since stadium took
I've been happy with how I've played all summer. It took a while to get my rhythm since I hadn't been on Armstrong Stadium court in quite some time.

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

Today I definitely didn't feel like I was playing my best tennis but I was doing enough to get through quite comfortably.

It was a harder match than the score indicated. I felt quite good. I did what I had to do.

It's a shame it had to happen. I think it was going to be a close one. Whenever I have a problem, I'm not going to quit for nothing.
player quit
I'm not the kind of player who is going to quit for nothing.
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.

It was very hard for me to start packing again because I was getting settled at home.

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.
diamond early games goodbye maybe stopping
I see myself stopping in 2007 or early 2008 after the Antwerp Diamond Games. Maybe I will still play the Diamond Games in 2008 as a goodbye tournament, but that will be it.
