It's a new injury that came last night. I'm not fit enough to play a tennis match. It's a pity I can't play but I hope I can play in Guangzhou. Maybe now I can see the Forbidden City.

This is perfect for us because obviously we haven't played the last few weeks of the season. To be able to kind of test out ourselves and also to try new techniques just gets me really excited for next year. I'd like to be more aggressive on the court, but more than anything, I'd like to stay healthy next year.
I am an experienced player and I have been in the last four so many times. I know what I am doing.
I really hope I am the last woman player in history ever to be paid unequally.
In the last matches Serena just always played better, ... She won them. I was happy at least that a Williams won. Obviously I would have loved to have won, but for me it's like the past now.
I'm definitely in a lot better form than I was last year.
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 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.
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,
The season is very long. It's pretty challenging to have to play year after year, for 10 months a year, for a human -- not a machine. You just have to watch out for yourself.
I've been called Rip Van Winkle. I wish they'd call me Sleeping Beauty.
Are you ready for the Williams sisters? ... We'll see you on Sunday. There's going to be a lot of hard hitting and a lot of hard serving. We'll both have some tricks up our sleeves.
