I felt confident in the second set when I went ahead. I thought I was going to win the second set, then felt pretty confident if I did that I would win the match in the third. A bit surprised ... that didn't happen.

It's a good start, my first match in a couple months competitively. It's always good to just kind of get going, get used to the environment, get used to competing again.
accomplish again great inside time voice
When I was out with my injury, I didn't know if I was going to be able to play again or not, ... There was just kind of this little voice inside of me that said, 'You know, you're not done. Now's not the time to retire. You still have some great things to accomplish in tennis.'
We'll see what happens. I'll just give it my best.
aggressive ball beat hard hitting
As long as I was hitting the ball hard and hitting it deep, our rallies were not that long. ... There was one way to beat her, and that was to be aggressive first.
