battles best brought close definitely either great knew matches played since tennis time tournament win
I'm very excited. We've had great battles over the years, and now that I haven't played her since my comeback, it's definitely a great challenge. We always played one of the best matches because we knew every time we played, either we win the tournament or we were close to doing so. So (it) always brought the best tennis out of each other.
best both comeback good knowing lindsay players russian sisters williams
It was probably one Russian too many. It used to be I had to play both Williams sisters and Lindsay Davenport, now it's the Russians. (But) I have surpassed all my expectations of my comeback and feel very good knowing I can go out there and play with the best players in the world.
best
Once you've been the best ... there are no seconds. But I just want to play, see where I'm at and that's pretty much it.
best bring confident facing forward looking player players
She is the player to beat. We are two completely different players now. I am really looking forward to facing the best. I will just go out there and play. I need to bring out my best as I will be facing a very confident player.
areas bad beat best certain great improving lost player playing solid
She is a solid player, the one to beat in tomorrow's final. I lost to a great player today. She is playing her best tennis. However, I wouldn't say that I am playing bad tennis. I am improving with every outing. I know there are certain areas in which I can improve.
best improve next played room tennis
I don't think I played my best tennis today. But as long as you win, it's always good. Always room to improve for the next match.
best doubt player playing
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.
anyone best both definitely face goals leave lindsay lose move possible round soon third wants
I don't think anyone wants to lose the third round of the tournament. That's definitely one of the goals that I try to move up as soon as possible so I don't have to face someone like Lindsay in the (fourth) round. But it's here right now and one of us has to leave the tournament. But you know, I think we both give it the best shots, but that's the game.
boom coach coaches girls hitting playing problem taught teach
In general, when you look at girls in the academies, they are just not taught that way. I think it's just because they're always so one-sided, playing with their coach or playing with their hitting partner. And you know, just boom, boom, boom all the time. I think it's also the problem of the coaches or parents, because they don't teach them different. I don't think it's (because of) the girls, because I think if you show them how to do it, how it's done, I think a lot of them, they would use more skill.
girl neither weapon
I know she's a little girl so she's not going to overpower me. I don't think she really has a big weapon but neither does she have a weakness.
game great knew
I knew I had to come up with a great game and I did.
careful conditions knew overdo point work
I knew (Pin) was not going to overpower me. Sometimes in the windy conditions you have to be very careful to overdo it and you have to work your point out there.
knew
I knew that I had to be right there from the start. I knew I couldn't give her any momentum.
