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.
coming court fly great high losing opportunity perform relax tournament win york
Coming here, it's been a really great opportunity to relax and get back out on the court right away after losing in New York ... I wouldn't fly all this way if I didn't want to win the tournament and perform at a high level.
couple fast games great last match
You always want to get the match over with as fast as you can, ... But I've got to say, she did play some great shots. The last couple of games were really close.
concerned felt funny great today tonight wake
It felt great tonight playing. It was so funny, I was really concerned yesterday, and then today I wake up and it did really well. I felt like I didn't have any limitations.
ability encompass great handled players playing since tennis trying winning
I think she has handled everything that has come her way really well since winning Wimbledon. I mean, she's still very young and is a very great player. Other players handle things differently. I'm one who can't handle anything but playing tennis and trying to be married. But other players have the ability to encompass a lot more.
few great pure
She is a great competitor, one of the few pure lefties on the tour,
allowing balls bit coming definitely game great happy harder inside obviously overall together
The balls were definitely coming a little bit harder and deeper, ... She wasn't really allowing me to be inside the baseline as much as I was in the first set. I didn't play a great game to get broken, but overall I got it back together at the end and obviously I'm happy to come out with a victory.

That was a big test for my back. It was really important just to play some matches and hopefully get the rust out of my game. Obviously, to win the tournament and going into New York with that under my belt is a great feeling.
allowing balls bit broken coming definitely difference felt game great happy harder inside obviously overall played second together
I think the difference in the second set was once I got broken to 2-2 I felt like she played with a little bit more confidence, ... The balls were definitely coming a little bit harder and deeper. She wasn't really allowing me to be inside the baseline as much as I was in the first set. I didn't play a great game to get broken, but overall I got it back together at the end and obviously I'm happy to come out with a victory.
great perfect playing
I think it was great for me (because) I think that I was able to come through not playing perfect tennis.
build coming days forget grand great losing tennis win
I will never forget Wimbledon, it is something that I don't want to forget, ... There was great disappointment in losing that, but the great thing about tennis is that you have more tournaments and more Grand Slams. I have another one coming up in two days and I am going to try to win it and build some more memories.
close final forward great looking match played players playing
I always play great players in the final here, ... Amelie and I played such a close match at Wimbledon, and I'm looking forward to playing her again.
