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.
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.
disturb next nobody prepare relax time
I was ready, but I wasn't at my best, ... 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 was ready, but I wasn't at my best,
attention gets hours maybe photo spend three
I think she gets more attention in the commercials, things out of the court. Maybe I wouldn't be able just to spend two, three hours in a photo shoot. Maybe it's not for me.
cannot enjoy people start time
You just cannot do any more than your best. It wasn't my day. What do I do? I know many people can't get it, but I enjoy being here and trying. You can't do it every time. I just want to have time off and start again.
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.
deserve
I have been working so hard, and I deserve to be here.
course learn time
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.
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.
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.
birds kid overhead planes thinking win
When I was a kid I was always thinking about the planes and birds overhead and I would never win a match.
ball excited half playing power seems
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.
