I didn't expect to play her again so soon, and if she gets there it will be great.
He's the man right now in mixed doubles and also in doubles. Just next to him, it gives you so much satisfaction and security that you have to put the serve and returns in and he does the rest. You have someone to carry you all the way.
You have to believe that down deep otherwise I wouldn't come back.
Expectations just definitely grow. With every match I'm getting more confidence.
There are always little aches and pains but as long as I pace myself I should be OK. As for the ankle, so far, so good.
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.
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.
I think winning the first game showed her that I am here and I am prepared, and that she has to earn her points. It was really important to have won that first game.
I think it was like sometimes in life things happen and you try to change them and if you learn from mistakes, it's always a good thing.
It is not a comeback anymore. I am here now and this is my fifth tournament. I have shown that I can still play. I don't look at it as a comeback anymore. It is more like the second part of my career now.
I was always saying when I came back if I could play her, and tomorrow, the day has arrived.
I was a little nervous. I'd like to thank my family and friends for supporting me.
