It's very exciting, especially when you feel like you're right.
Everybody wants to grow up sometime. And you have to experience that maybe it's not going to work out the way you expected it to.
It was beautiful to walk in there. I could already feel the atmosphere coming from the previous years.
It was definitely a good performance today. I played smart and concentrated throughout the whole match. It was key in the first games to hold serve.
It was a tough match in the beginning. But I was very focused and concentrated.
It took me three years to recharge my brain and my body and hopefully I can keep playing like this.
It's been three years, a long time. We'll see how it goes here. It's a challenge and exciting. Every week is different.
It's always special to play Lindsay. She's the one you've been aiming for all these years and she's still there. You definitely find out where you're at, what your potential is. I'm there and I'm back.
It looked more like a football match. I could not find my rhythm and I am just happy to be through to the next round.
It's great to be back out there. When you hear the applause, people are out there wanting to see you.
It's great to be back out there. When you hear applause, people are there wanting to see you. It's great. And I played some good points early on, and then you just get going.
It's great. Wherever I go, people are very welcoming and friendly.
It seemed like it was a long time ago, like a lot of things have happened to me. Walking back on the stage where you've been so successful, it's a lot of pressure on you. But you also know you've had a lot of success in the past, playing the finals here over and over. Tonight, it worked, and all I can say is it feels great to be back out there.
I told her that if you played like that all the time, she would have won a Grand Slam already.
