I tried a lot of things, but she always had a better answer. I had to take a lot of risks and started making errors because she was putting too much pressure on me.
There is no doubt Amelie is the best player in the tournament. I am playing well and I am not too disappointed with my loss.
We both knew what to expect from one another. I was watching her growing up and playing.
The first point is always to believe in it when you go on court and then you have the chances to win.
Today probably wasn't the prettiest game, but it was effective.
To beat Lindsay here in Indian Wells, it probably matters a little bit more than anything else.
We were just breaking each other, and most times pretty easily. It was very difficult conditions. I think that today whoever had the stronger head, and stayed in the match, won.
We worked hard all season to get ourselves into this position, ... I was very happy to be part of this team and get them going. I knew when the guys lost the first set of doubles I had to step up and get us a lead.
Although losing against Kim today, it just still gives me so much to look forward to because it was a tight match at the end.
That gave me a lot of confidence making the last eight and showed I had some kind of game. It exceeded my expectations....The confidence, it showed in today's game. The potential is there and I can improve every week.
You still hope, you know? I mean, I thought it might be out, but it was a very close call, so you can. Maybe something happens.
You pretty much get through, get it done.
You can't just think they're going to miss. You have to earn your points, you have to make them, you know, do the mistakes.... Sometimes, in the past, it was enough to just wait, wait for your chances.
You can't hide. Sooner or later I have to play a top 10 player, better sooner than later. Win or lose, you know where you're at.
