Beating Lindsay today here under these circumstances on this occasion, it's definitely not easy mentally for me to play her. Now I know that I have the potential to meld with the best.
I thought I finally beat a top 20, but definitely it's sweet to beat the number three seed.
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.
I feel definitely very good being in the finals again. I hadn't thought to make it this far....
This year I definitely have more matches than her -- that's a plus. Generally it's easier to play somebody like this first round than later in the draw. I have nothing to lose against Justine.
Expectations just definitely grow. With every match I'm getting more confidence.
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'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.
This is definitely one of the more relieving matches I've had. Making the last eight coming into this event, I would have never thought I got that far. Now here I am.
Definitely anticipation has always been a very big part of my game -- to know and read my opponent -- but it's not easy. Even if I play a Grand Slam, I play girls I don't know, so I have to adapt very quickly.
So far, so good. I'm definitely very happy with the progress I'm making. Today probably wasn't my prettiest game, but it was effective.
I just wanted this one badly. My first mixed doubles title, it definitely exceeded my expectations.
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.
I've played a lot of tennis this week and I'm not used to that.
