again control finish fired four games glad middle played row winning
I was really fired up to play well and I'm glad I did that, ... I was in control of most of the match, dictating most of the rallies and played very well winning those four games in a row in the middle of the first set and again to finish the match.
against allow attacking balls dictate game hard inside likes pace playing step
I think she really likes to dictate play and step inside and I know that sometimes my balls and the pace of my balls don't allow her to do that, ... I think that she has a hard time, maybe, playing her attacking game against me.
against played
She has played well against me a lot of times,
ability against best definitely knew played tough
It was a really tough match. I knew she definitely had the ability to be dangerous, and that was the best that she's played against me.
again beginning both downs dropped few good level lots match missed second settled start stepped strange ups
It was a strange match with lots of ups and downs from both of us. I started off really well, but from 3-all in the second set, I missed a few and she stepped it up. I got off to a good start at the beginning of the third, and I think that settled the matter. Her level dropped again and I was able to take advantage.
against asked bothered felt final heart hurt injury people played terrible totally venus wimbledon wish
It was a terrible match. People asked me if I was hurt (the residue of a back injury that bothered her during the Wimbledon final against Venus Williams). I wish I could say that. Unfortunately, I felt fine. At Wimbledon, I played my heart out and played really well and I totally got beat. Against Elena, I felt a lot of it had to do with me.
achieve again girls grand lindsay
I want to play those grand slams again and I want to be able to play girls like Lindsay in the grand slams there are still so many things that I would like to achieve in tennis.
against believe compete couple draw help players top tough
I don't necessarily believe that everyone here is 100 percent. But everyone in the draw is really what we need. I think as the players get more healthy, and the top players get to compete against each other more and more, it's really going to help our sport. We've had a tough couple years.
again city fantastic great supporters tennis tournament
The city of Philadelphia and the tournament have been fantastic supporters of women's tennis and I know will once again put on a great event.
good mess opponent people seen situations
I've seen people come back from these situations before and she's a good opponent and I didn't want to mess around.
bit demanding great loss today toughest worn
I still feel a little worn down, ... It was a great but demanding two weeks. I started to feel a bit better today but getting over a loss like that is probably the toughest thing you have to do.
definitely gets older playing tougher
I started playing tournaments at 15 and I'm 29 now. It definitely gets a lot tougher as you get older and older.
bit time
I sprained it a little bit the other day. It was just a little bit swollen. ... I kind of jammed it on one shot. Hopefully, it will have a little time to get better.
dealt injuries optimistic past worse
I've dealt with much worse injuries and things in the past so I'm pretty optimistic that it will heal.
