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.
far good match
Yeah, it would be a good story line. But, you know, it's one match away, but a really far match away.
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.
good happy obviously
Obviously I'm happy to get a good win, and get it in before it rained.
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.
good match
It was a good first match to get under my belt, she is a very good player,
age bring care challenge coming game girls good played tennis
It's not frightening. I look at it as a challenge to play a lot of the young girls that are coming up -- and the really good ones. I think I've played most of them, I don't care what age they are or how long they've been playing, it's all about the tennis and what kind of game each girl can bring on that day.
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.
both difficult emotional extremely goes good hard looking looks match might playing predict venus win
Venus looks like she's playing really well, ... I don't even know what to say when they play each other. It must be so hard that it's pretty hard to predict who will win that match. But If Venus comes through that match, I think that she's looking pretty good up there. This could be just an extremely difficult match and (must be) emotional for her, or it might not be. I don't really know what goes into it for both of them.
good thank week
I want to thank myself for having such a good week here.
good played second served
I played a good tiebreak, a good second set and served well,
aggressive felt good match played tennis
But I felt like when I concentrated and played more aggressive tennis then I played well. It was a good match to play.
committed course fact finish focus good grand matches mean mine mission proud season slam title top win year
It's not a mission of mine to end the year No.1. I know if I win everything I have a very good chance, but I just want to focus on the matches I have to win and the tournaments that I'm committed to for the remainder of this year. Of course I'd take another Grand Slam title over the No.1 ranking any day, but I am proud of the fact that I'll probably finish another season at least in the Top Three. That's no mean feat.
athlete girl good great
The girl is such a great athlete and so good off the ground,
