chance forward good grass hard looking meeting met today
It was a good chance to play with Serena but today is not that chance. I met her before on grass and I was looking forward to meeting her on a hard court.
felt good second
We felt good in the first set but I think in the second set we were a little lucky.
I still don't have the feel of the courts.
best chinese gifts match mobile phone ringing since title
Since the end of the match my mobile phone has been ringing nonstop. This title is one of the best gifts we can give to the Chinese people.
prepare pro trying
We're trying to do some things the professional way. Also we try to prepare for 2008. It's the same thing. If we get (on top) in the pro tour, also we can get there in 2008.
cannot chance good pity
It was a good chance to play with Serena but what is a pity that I cannot get the chance today.
game good improve playing serve tall
I try to play more quickly, more flat, because I'm not as tall as the other players. So that's why I try to do this playing style. My baseline game is okay, but my serve is not good enough, I need to improve it.
chinese player reach time tournament win
This is the first time for a Chinese player to reach the quarter-finals in a big tournament. It's no big surprise. Just a quarter. If you win the tournament it's a big surprise.
