easiest sick tournament
You never get sick of winning, that could never happen, ... It was a struggle. It wasn't the easiest tournament I've ever won.
bottom line phenomenal
The bottom line is you've got to play better than that in a quarter-final. She is a phenomenal competitor.
aggressive ball best excited felt hitting matches move played sure
This is one of the best matches I've played for sure here so far, and I felt like I was really aggressive and yet I could move well. My back wasn't a problem. You know, I was consistent, hitting the ball hard, very excited about that.
coming last nice quicker week
After coming off a long week like last week, it was nice just to have a quicker match.
believe count hill question quite veterans
Definitely, when they said . . . this is my 15th US Open, it makes you think. I can't believe -- I don't think I can count all 15. No, there's no question I'm one of the veterans on tour. I like to think I'm still in my 20s, which I am. I'm not quite over the hill yet.
chances coming kept normally pull struggling till today win
Normally you don't want to give yourself that many chances till you win it, ... I kept coming back here, kept always struggling in the finals. And today I was happy, finally, after all these years, able to pull it out.
conclusion limited
After all these years, I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to play a very limited schedule.
broke difficult key second serve surface twice
This is a difficult surface to get used to, ... Getting broke twice in the first set was tough, but I started to serve well in the second set and that's the key on this surface.
allowing balls bit broken coming definitely difference felt game great happy harder inside obviously overall played second together
I think the difference in the second set was once I got broken to 2-2 I felt like she played with a little bit more confidence, ... The balls were definitely coming a little bit harder and deeper. She wasn't really allowing me to be inside the baseline as much as I was in the first set. I didn't play a great game to get broken, but overall I got it back together at the end and obviously I'm happy to come out with a victory.
ball best consistent excited hitting lost match played since tennis today venus williams wimbledon
I was consistent and hitting the ball very hard. I was very excited about that. Today was the best match I've played since Wimbledon (where she lost to Venus Williams in the final), the kind of tennis I want to play.
change
I think we want to change that this year,
both funny happened hardly preferred summer works
I think both of us would have preferred to be able to play the whole summer and see then what would have happened but both of us have hardly played, ... It's funny how that works out.
side took upsets
I think it took away a lot of it, especially on the women's side . . . on the men's side, you have some upsets once in a while.
hope matter titles win
It is a milestone, ... I hope I get there. But 48 is still pretty amazing, no matter what happens, and it's been great. I couldn't have guessed that I would win that many titles in my career, so I will try and get the 50.
