bit time
I sprained it a little bit the other day. It was just a little bit swollen. ... I kind of jammed it on one shot. Hopefully, it will have a little time to get better.
career fired focused indian loved matches seem throughout time won
I've always loved my time out here and won a lot of matches throughout my career in Indian Wells and always seem to really get focused and fired up to play here.
brought coming enjoyed match matches minds people seem sorry sticks time touched whatever
I had people coming up all the time and even now they are still and they seem very touched by what happened. I don't know if it's because they feel sorry for me or they really enjoyed the match or whatever it may be. But for some reason, that match sticks out more in fan's minds than other matches that they've ever brought up to me.
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.
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.

anyone certain change delay expected fantastic locker looking personally players rain room sweat time tough unprepared unsure watching
It's fantastic when you're done (and) you're watching everyone else in the locker room sweat it out, but it's very tough when rain interrupts play. A lot of time it can change the momentum. Players get stiff, you're always unsure of when it will stop. And I think certain players are personally unprepared for it at certain venues. At Wimbledon, you're always looking up, like, ?OK, one more game.' I don't think anyone would have expected a long rain delay here in the desert.
last scared time tried
I was a little scared going out. The last time I tried to play, it didn't go so well.
last nervous time tried
I was a little nervous out there because the last time I tried to play my back wouldn't let me,
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.
annoyed desire felt heart hope played time totally
I hope I have that desire in me when the time comes. I'm annoyed at the moment. At Wimbledon, I played my heart out and totally got beat. Today, I felt like a lot of it had to do with me.
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.
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.
