eight expect seven weeks wrong
It would be wrong of me to expect I can come back after seven or eight weeks and be perfect,

I've seen people come back from these situations before and she's a good opponent and I didn't want to mess around.
eight four hopefully matches played
I've played four matches in New Haven, four matches here, so it's been eight matches in two weeks. Hopefully that's enough matches,
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.
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.

People believe what they believe. You hear about women playing only three sets while men play five,
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.

After all these years, I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to play a very limited schedule.

After coming off a long week like last week, it was nice just to have a quicker match.

The bottom line is you've got to play better than that in a quarter-final. She is a phenomenal competitor.
belt great hopefully matches rust test tournament win york
That was a big test for my back. It was really important just to play some matches and hopefully get the rust out of my game. Obviously, to win the tournament and going into New York with that under my belt is a great feeling.
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.
career fired focused indian loved matches seem throughout time won
I've always loved my time out here and won a lot of matches throughout my career in Indian Wells and always seem to really get focused and fired up to play here.
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.
