year
It would make the year even more special,
mind year
It would just make the year even more special, but it's not like it's on my mind now, ... If it happens, great. If it doesn't, that's not going to make my year worse.
few forward grand last slam work year
I still have few things to work on but it's the last grand slam of the year and the one I always look forward to.
entered main number year
If being the year-end number one was my main goal, I would have entered more tournaments. If it happens, great. If it doesn't, that's not going to make my year worse.
guidance loved played year
I would have loved to have played another year under his guidance,
amazing believe bit feeling hard last year
It's very hard to believe and an amazing feeling to have, ... After being out for so much of last year it's a little bit more special.
felt start year
That felt really good, I didn't think I would start the year like this,
again aggressive healthy months played playing pleased ranked stayed today tough win year
I played pretty well today and stayed aggressive because she is a tough opponent, ... This is where it all started for me so I'm really pleased to win again here today. One year ago I was injured, some months ago I was ranked around 130, and right now I am really pleased that I'm healthy and playing well.
cherry last tops year
After the year I had last year, this is the cherry on the cake, it just tops it off.
cherry feeling great last nice year
After the year I had last year, this is just the cherry on the cake. Obviously, it's a great feeling to get back to No. 1. It's always nice to get there.
against aggressive draw game last mix spin tough year
I feel better this year than I did last year. I've had a really tough draw so far. I really still feel like everything has to be at your best, especially against Amelie. She mixes her game up so well. She can be very aggressive but then she can mix in the slices and the spin ball.
sports nice years
Obviously over the years, it's been America, it's been Europe. It's all been very kind of divided between those two continents. It's nice to kind of see that Asia is starting - and especially China - starting to get recognized in this sport, too.
fun years want
I'm not really playing for the money, ... I just want to go out there and have fun. I really missed it so much last year.
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.
