annoyed desire felt heart hope played time totally
I hope I have that desire in me when the time comes. I'm annoyed at the moment. At Wimbledon, I played my heart out and totally got beat. Today, I felt like a lot of it had to do with me.
almost bit came helps hours knowing obviously problems quite second since time tougher
I haven't had any problems since I came back the second time this summer. Every other day helps quite a bit as well, knowing that I now have almost probably 48 hours before I play again. It's obviously much tougher when you've got back-to-back-to-back matches.
ball closer felt player score tough
I really felt that this was a lot closer than the score suggests. Francesca is a tough player to play against. Every ball she can get is going to come back.

But I think in the next year or so she's really going to take control and grow into her body and learn all her shots and really be for sure a top 10 player.
aggressive felt good match played tennis
But I felt like when I concentrated and played more aggressive tennis then I played well. It was a good match to play.
feeling figured great happy learning matter road sitting stronger
But I feel it was a great, great road for me and a great learning process. I figured out a lot of things on my own that probably made me a stronger person. I am happy with who I have become no matter what road I took. I am happy to still be sitting here and feeling the way I do.
body days four fresh held next played win younger
I played well and my body held up. So I am thrilled. To win here, I need to play four days in a row. I am not getting any younger and I have to be fresh for my next match.

I guess you could argue that. That changed drastically when they started seeding 32,
