excited titles
I was really, really excited to get 50 titles and get it so quickly,
beginning compete consistent forward game good looking matches obviously playing predicted trying week win
I wouldn't have necessarily predicted that at the beginning of the week, ... I didn't know how my game would be. Obviously I am a consistent performer, but the way everything has kind of panned out it's been a good week for me, just trying to win matches and trying to be out there and win and compete when I don't feel like I am playing my best, and looking forward to another opportunity.

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.

She's obviously a dangerous kind of floater around in the draw. But you've got to play however the draw is made.

She's a huge fighter. She manages to stay very positive in some bizarre circumstances in matches.

She gave me a few errors, which always helps,
She really makes you go for a lot and think about shots.
ball consistent finally points win
She mixes up the ball so much you never really get any rhythm, and finally I got a little more consistent and was able to win the big points today.
