ball best broke deserve knew match stay
I have been working so hard, and I deserve to be here. I knew I broke her, and I broke her again. I just wanted to stay every ball in the match and give my best and see what I can have out there.
behind best changes coming forget good happened happy memories remember tennis
I was not that satisfied, not that happy with (this) year. Coming here, it just changes everything. I just forget all the tournaments that have been before, I forget all what's behind me and I just remember the memories and want to do good here. I want to play my best tennis and don't think what happened before it.
disturb grow next nobody prepare relax stronger time tough
I mean, now nobody will disturb me about this, ... Nobody will say me nothing. I just relax and I take some time off, I guess. And I just prepare for next events. I mean, is tough. But you know, the tough things make you grow stronger and make you learn.
open pressure tried
This year, I've wanted to go out and play like (the) U.S. Open champion. I put too much pressure on myself and tried to be too good.
center court good lots players
There's lots of good players to play on the center court here. I am playing. I think I will play there also (sometime). So I don't mind.

Now, I'm just playing like half of my power and the ball seems to go pretty fast, so I'm pretty excited about that.

Now nobody will disturb me about this, ... Nobody will say nothing to me. I'll just relax and take some time off, I guess, and just prepare for the next events.

I have been working so hard, and I deserve to be here.

Of course I'm disappointed. But things like this happen. I just didn't play my game. I will learn from it. I just want to have some time off.
maybe positive tried
I tried my best, it wasn't my day ... What do I do? Kill myself? No, I don't. Just take positive things out of this and maybe I'll try to learn.
amazing behind bit crowd felt maria
For me, it's a bit unusual. You play Maria and have the crowd behind you. I felt amazing that the crowd was with me.
good year
it just happened. I wasn't at my best. This year was not good for me. I take things how I take them.
maybe practice rhythm work
I have to work much more and maybe practice more, so I get a rhythm or something.
I just didn't play my game. I wanted it badly. It wasn't my day. Things weren't going my way. I was ready, but I was not at my best.
