At that point, it just was very flowing, I didn't even think about it. I just went on court and did my thing and I was very happy doing it.
I was never happy my injuries cut my career short and ultimately forced my decision to step away from tennis,
I enjoy being back. Just every tournament is a new one, and right now I really am happy to be playing and at that level again.
It's my rookie season, so I'm really enjoying every minute of it, ... I'm very happy to be in the championship.
I've exceeded my own expectations and am happy to be playing good tennis once again.
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.
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.
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've played a lot of tennis this week and I'm not used to that.
I served very well in the first set, I held my serve and that was key just like yesterday. I won with my heart today. Winning the tiebreak gave me confidence.
I've been trying to work on my whole game, baseline and serve. You have to have a serve to be able to survive today and we'll see if I can bring it on.
Probably I was a little more determined, even more hungry.
Both of us had our ups and downs, but there's so much she can still learn.
Either way it would have been a great match. It was just very difficult conditions and today it was whoever had the stronger head and stayed in the match. One shot here and there and it could have been different.
