She played fairly consistently. I probably shouldn't have made so many mistakes. I'll remember not to next time.
She played a very aggressive game. I don't think I had an opportunity really to get a rhythm. I would have liked to have hit more balls, but it was OK.
My doctors and trainers have advised me that my leg needs to fully recover in order for me to play at the level that I'm accustomed to playing.
My health is okay. My experience will carry me even though I didn't play that many tournaments this summer. I'm mentally prepared.
My hip was hurting, and I couldn't move like I wanted to,
No, I don't really watch the news. In some ways, I'm very unaware of the latest happenings in the world. I kind of leave it like that because sometimes it's better not to know.
When you come out in these conditions, you never know what will happen. These were the windiest conditions I ever played in.
When you come out in these conditions, you never know what will happen, ... These were the windiest conditions I ever played in.
Life is good, ... I've been able to see the other side of life a little more, but I'm really eager to get back and I'm really eager to be traveling and doing my thing that I'm used to doing.
I have a lot of respect for her. She was my favorite player growing up. That's why I started grunting; I wanted to be like Monica.
I felt like I had an opportunity at 5-3 to break, but I didn't get that, ... Then 5-4, I had a pretty bad service game, two double faults. I think Serena had like a monster return or two that I couldn't do anything with, which happens if you're playing Serena Williams. At that point it was just all about sticking in there.
I feel like when I'm trying to step it up, I will. I feel like I can get the best out of me,
I feel like I played well, it was one of my best matches this year, everything's getting better.
We've reached the best of our profession Actually, I'd like to stay No. 1, but I'd like to see Serena No. 1, also. I'm not giving it up, but I'm sure she'll get there.
