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.
gets happy match played player type
I was happy to get her in the first match because she's the type of player who gets better as tournaments go on. I played well.
forward happened indian looking played satisfied second third
I am very satisfied with the way I played the first and third sets, but I really have no idea what happened in the second set. I am looking forward to Indian Wells in two weeks, because I have always done well in California.
ball balls bit consistent either felt hitting match played playing rhythm second top
On the second set, I felt like I was playing well and hitting the ball well, ... First set, I just don't think either of us played all that well. ... But as the match went on, I felt like I was getting much better rhythm and on top of the balls and being a little bit more consistent with my shot.
against played
She has played well against me a lot of times,
best feels fine played scared since weeks
My back is good. I was scared going out on the court. But it feels fine right now. It's been 7-to-8 weeks since I played a match. I didn't play my best but I won.
felt obviously played prefer tennis
I felt I played really well the first set and a half. Obviously that's the kind of tennis I prefer to play.
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 felt like today was the best I've played here so far this year. I'm really happy to play well and get some momentum going. I want to win this again.
consistent control felt night played points second stepped today
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.
advantage chips played time
Every time the chips were down for Venus, she played unbelievable, ... I thought I played really well and I thought I had a lot of chances, and I feel like she never let me take advantage of those chances.
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.
