best match played since today
Today was the best match I've played since Wimbledon,
foot goes hopefully hours swelling
If structurally there's nothing wrong, I'll put my foot up for 48 hours and hopefully the swelling goes down and it will be OK.
close final forward great looking match played players playing
I always play great players in the final here, ... Amelie and I played such a close match at Wimbledon, and I'm looking forward to playing her again.
ankle australian competing favorite injured left open prevent
Unfortunately the left ankle that I injured during the Australian Open will prevent me from competing in one of my favorite tournaments.
best break helps played playing start stretch whenever
Whenever you're out there playing a final, the best start you can get off to, it only helps you. I was able to get up that first break at 2-1 and then I played really, really well for a stretch of games.
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.
great perfect playing
I think it was great for me (because) I think that I was able to come through not playing perfect tennis.
best coming felt martina obviously players sure tough unless
I think that it's a very, very tough sport. Obviously Martina has been one of the best players that has ever played, so I'm sure she wouldn't be coming back unless she felt like she could make this transition.
grand judged slam title titles win
I want to win this title again. I think that you are really, at the end of the day, judged on how many Grand Slam titles you have, and probably how many titles you have.
good thank week
I want to thank myself for having such a good week here.
