felt tempo
I felt like I had a much better tempo to my serve.
awhile felt played worse
I felt like, for awhile there, I couldn't have played much worse - like, it was not good.
balls bit control errors felt obviously played
I felt like a lot of it had to do with me. I just felt like I was making errors on balls I didn't need to make errors on. I was never really in control of points...(I'm) just annoyed. You obviously want to play a little bit better than what I played in a quarterfinal match.

I feel this is my hometown tournament and one in which I have always looked forward to playing. My back is just not ready yet for competition.

I feel like today I played a lot better. The other night I felt like I was just a second or two off in my reactions. Today I felt like I stepped it up a little and was more consistent and was in control of the points more.

I feel like I'm ready for the challenges.
best girls highest level playing
I feel like I'm playing some of my best tennis. It's unfortunate that all the other girls are playing so much better. This is the highest level we've ever competed at.
biggest double fault gone hit matches matter miss practice rhythm scared serve
I can tell in the motion, ... Sometimes you can double fault and miss serve, but hit it really well. I just feel like it's just a rhythm thing. Hopefully, the more I serve and the more I practice it and the more I do it in matches it'll come back. It's one of my biggest weapons. I'm not scared that it's gone away. It just is a matter of me being able to hit it more.
