answer ecstatic excited far few leave love question
That's way too far ahead, ... I'm so excited to be in the quarters. I'm going to leave it at that. I would love to answer that question in a few more days, but right now I'm just ecstatic to be where I am.
few gave
She gave me a few errors, which always helps,
few great pure
She is a great competitor, one of the few pure lefties on the tour,
beginning close felt few games lost match playing seemed
We had a few really close games in the beginning that I was able to come through. It seemed like as the match went on, she probably lost a little confidence, and I felt like I was playing better and better.
easy expected felt few four handled last matches played row sets straight tough weeks win won
It's tough sometimes to play four weeks in a row and still to come out on top, ... I've played a lot of matches the last few weeks and I felt this whole week was a success. I won in straight sets every match, and it's not always easy to win when you're expected to win. I felt I handled that very well this week.
fewer goal playing priority
It's not up in my priority list. My whole goal is just to get better. I'll be playing fewer tournaments this year, so it's inevitable.
few games hard people points short trying
It's hard when there's people around because you really don't want that to happen. I was trying to keep the points short for a few games there.
closer cocky few hard matches normally relative seems sound stepping top women
It seems like the top women are really stepping up and have been getting through with relative ease. It's hard to sound too cocky about that. I think normally there's a few more closer matches in there.
balls dictate few hard hit knew liked struck tennis trying
It was the kind of tennis I wanted to play. Even a few balls that I missed, I thought I struck the ball well, better than the other nights. I knew that she liked to dictate play so I was trying to overpower her and hit the ball hard and not let her have a lot of time.
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.
bit few looked playing venus watching
Watching her play a little bit the first few rounds, I thought Venus looked like she was playing well.
closer few normally
... But I think normally there's a few more closer matches.
errors few finish four game great second solid though
So even though I didn't play a great game at 2-3 in the second and put a few errors in and got broken, I was able to come back right away and finish off with four really solid games.
battles few tough
You used to get a lot more really tough battles in the first few rounds,
