both felt second sloppy win
Both of us got a little sloppy in the second set. It felt really tiring. I felt like I got to win in two sets.
forward looking match second
There's no sense in me really looking forward and stressing about a match in the second week.
feeling four games next second
I was up 2-1 in the second and for the next four games I was feeling really nauseous, like I was going to get sick,
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.
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 hit knows moment problem second serve sure time
You try and really take advantage of that. The problem is a lot of times you don't know what you get. It could be the tightest moment and she'll try to hit her second serve at 105 or 110 mph. Another time it comes in at 55. I'm not sure if she knows what she's going to do.

break came chance couple last match played playing points second start third turn win
It just came down to the one break. I had my chance to go for the break in the third, and to get back even in the last game, and I just didn't win those couple of points today. So you know, I didn't start the match playing well, but I was able to turn that around and start to play better and played well at the end of the second set. And even the third set I played okay.
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.
broke difficult key second serve surface twice
This is a difficult surface to get used to, ... Getting broke twice in the first set was tough, but I started to serve well in the second set and that's the key on this surface.
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.
played second third
I was just able to eke out the second set, and the third set I just played a lot better and she started to make a lot more unforced errors.
good played second served
I played a good tiebreak, a good second set and served well,
