best goes tend tournament
I did not play my best and know I have to get better, but typically I tend to get better as the tournament goes on,
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.
absolutely believe career contention court plans playing titles
Obviously, you never know when a career is going come to an end, ... I have no absolute, no plans to stop. If I said on court as long as I am playing and in contention for titles and not injured, I am going to be back, I absolutely believe that.
ball excited hitting
My back was not a problem. I was consistent, hitting the ball hard, and I am very excited about that.
best feels fine played scared since weeks
My back is good. I was scared going out on the court. But it feels fine right now. It's been 7-to-8 weeks since I played a match. I didn't play my best but I won.
difference far finds girl level opponent playing power sure top win
More than anything, the girl finds a way to win and finds a way to get her opponent uncomfortable; I'm sure she has a way to negate power still. Sometimes, we have a difference in level between top 10 and then 10 through 20, but so far she's been playing excellent.
balls easily press pressed
Monday's going to be a lot different story, ... Kim's not going to let me do that so easily and will get more balls back and will really press me a lot more than I've pressed so far.

bali excited glad means players thinking win won
I am really excited to win over 50 titles, ... That means a lot to me as not many players have won that. I was thinking about it after I won Bali and was glad to be able to do it here right off the bat.
forward happened indian looking played satisfied second third
I am very satisfied with the way I played the first and third sets, but I really have no idea what happened in the second set. I am looking forward to Indian Wells in two weeks, because I have always done well in California.
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.
