bad best definitely felt improve played shots tennis
Well, I didn't do too bad the tournaments after that, ... But I felt like I played well that match. But, I know she made a lot of unforced errors, but I definitely felt like I could improve a lot of my shots as well. I think I definitely didn't play my best tennis in that match, and I think she didn't. I know she didn't. So, it's give and take.
happened last matter mature shots
It's just a matter of going for my shots all the time. I'm a little more mature after everything that happened last year.
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.
bad hit points shots
I didn't play bad points there. She probably hit better shots in those points than she hit in the whole match,
believe tough shots
It was tough, I gave everything I had on those match points but she just came up with better shots. I still find it very hard to believe. Its amazing.
again bad beat came good last points saying shots wants
I know that I didn't play bad points there, ... She had to come up with good shots, and she did. Obviously, it was a little frustrating. I was saying to myself, she came up with those shots at the last minute. Let her do that again if she wants to beat me.
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.
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.

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.
