It was tough. It was sad. I'd like to see an American win this. He obviously had a great chance. But it happens. That's sports. The best part is that he'll have another chance very soon.
I don't think Serena had her best day,
I did rehab and tried to get better the best that I could. I wasn't playing at 100 percent ? preparation or health ? and I didn't want to come back until I knew I could do that.
She's obviously a great player, doing things on the court that amazing, ... She's motivating other people all over the world to do their best both on the court and off the court, so I think it will be really cool and I regard her.
She always comes out with her best game against me, ... I feel like I'll definitely be able to play better on, what will it be, Tuesday. I'm looking forward to it. Serena's promised to help me get my game together.
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.
When she doesn't play her best is the best time to get a win against her,
Right now, I'm at the top of the world in my game so my focus isn't on when I'm going to end. My focus is on playing the best tennis that I can, and there is no end to that.
Normally, I'm breaking her always. So that was not normal for me today, and my returns just seemed to go a millimeter out. It was pretty disappointing. ... Today wasn't my best day, and it was still 7-6 in the third. I know if I play decent, I'm going to win that kind of match.
I was in pain, it was really tough to move and I couldn't move fast. But I really wanted to stay on court because this is my only preparation for the Australian Open. I had to do my best to stay out there so I had to do the right things within my power.
We're going to try to work on our rankings this fall, ... We both just want to win the match, whether she's playing me or if she's playing someone else.
It was a challenging match. She's a player with variety. Sometimes she's playing harder and hitting with spin. But that's good for me,
