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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
either happy played second win
I didn't think either of us played that well in the first set. But I played a lot better in the second set and I am very happy to win the title.
almost bit came helps hours knowing obviously problems quite second since time tougher
I haven't had any problems since I came back the second time this summer. Every other day helps quite a bit as well, knowing that I now have almost probably 48 hours before I play again. It's obviously much tougher when you've got back-to-back-to-back matches.
chance confidence definitely early gave looking plays second
I had the chance there after the first set, she wasn't looking so good. I definitely let her back in early in the second and gave her some confidence and when she has confidence, she plays really well.
came issue problems second since time
It's really been good. I haven't had any problems since I came back the second time this summer. It hasn't really been an issue too much.
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.
best conditions improve plays second settle took
I'm never one that necessarily plays their best right off the bat. It took a little while to settle into the conditions and how Rika plays, but I do feel I started to improve some things in the second set.
good played second served
I played a good tiebreak, a good second set and served well,
