I was, today, trying to get a lot of just first serves in and not tried to go for too much, ... (It) seemed to work.
amount huge phenomenal serve setbacks
She's a phenomenal competitor. With the amount of setbacks she has with her serve in other matches, she always hangs in there. She's a huge fighter.
fast felt helped serve trouble
I felt like I was in control, ... This is a really, really fast court. My serve really helped me and got me out of trouble all week.
biggest double fault gone hit matches matter miss practice rhythm scared serve
I can tell in the motion, ... Sometimes you can double fault and miss serve, but hit it really well. I just feel like it's just a rhythm thing. Hopefully, the more I serve and the more I practice it and the more I do it in matches it'll come back. It's one of my biggest weapons. I'm not scared that it's gone away. It just is a matter of me being able to hit it 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.

It was a tough match. I served well and didn't get a break, that was the important thing.
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.
learn per served
Someone said she served at 125, 126 (miles per hour) here. So I have to learn some more about her.
allow ball hard hit serve
I just have to serve well, be aggressive, hit the ball hard and not allow her to get into any rhythm.

I played a good tiebreak, a good second set and served well,
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.
bit demanding great loss today toughest worn
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.
