erratic match nearly point points quite returns
I don't feel at any point of the match that I really had any rhythm. I don't think I got nearly as many returns in today. ... It was a much more erratic match, where the points were just going fast. I didn't know quite what was going to happen.
good happy obviously
Obviously I'm happy to get a good win, and get it in before it rained.
downs ups york
New York has its ups and downs for every player.
ball balls bit consistent either felt hitting match played playing rhythm second top
On the second set, I felt like I was playing well and hitting the ball well, ... First set, I just don't think either of us played all that well. ... But as the match went on, I felt like I was getting much better rhythm and on top of the balls and being a little bit more consistent with my shot.
depth hopefully tennis upsets
On the men's side, obviously, you have some upsets still here once in a while. Hopefully women's tennis will get to where there's a lot of depth from one through 100.

I was really, really excited to get 50 titles and get it so quickly,
crazy happen lots surface
Lots of crazy things can happen on this surface but it was pretty easy,

She threw in a lot of errors that kept the match pretty short.
ball good hard hit hopefully moves sharp tough
She was very good. She hit the ball very hard and she moves very well and has a good backhand, so that's a tough match. Hopefully I'll be really sharp and on my toes.
amount huge phenomenal serve setbacks
She's a phenomenal competitor. With the amount of setbacks she has with her serve in other matches, she always hangs in there. She's a huge fighter.
She's got weapons; I think she's going to do very well,
ball balls control early felt games given hitting letting problems step struggling
She's given me some problems in the past. In Australia, I was really struggling to control the points, ... Here today, I felt like even some of the games I lost, I was dictating the points, hitting the ball well, not letting her take the balls early and step in.
dangerous draw however obviously
She's obviously a dangerous kind of floater around in the draw. But you've got to play however the draw is made.
bizarre huge manages positive stay
She's a huge fighter. She manages to stay very positive in some bizarre circumstances in matches.
