Overall, I'm very happy with the way I played. I served big and was consistent except at the end where I got maybe a little bit too eager to finish her off.
forward great looking match next number playing though week
It would be great (to end 2004 at number one), ... Hopefully, I can make it this week even though I know it will be very tough. She's been playing well also. I'm looking forward to the next match every day.

The first set was not so easy for me ... I made way too many unforced errors and really took one set to adjust to the conditions and to the game.

She is playing really well at the moment. She played well at the Australian Open as well. It won't be an easy match for sure. I am looking forward to the match.

I played a very consistent match. On key moments I felt like I controlled the match. I think that the physical aspect of the game played a big par.
felt match seriously took
You know, I felt I took that match very seriously and didn't really let her get into the match,
aggressive likes move
You just have to move well, be ready, be aggressive yourself, not let her do what she likes to do, which is dictating the game, which is very tough. That's all I can tell you.
answer believing best both court goes guess hear hearing moments people sensitive side today tough
You hear it anyway, ... And I guess for a sensitive person, it goes to you at some point, when you are still hearing the same things. But the best answer I can give is on the court and that is what we both did today because Mary, also got some tough moments on her side and people not really believing her being able to come back at that level. This is the best answer we can give to anybody.
our-world needs way
Yes, I have had difficult times on court and at certain tournaments but you need to forget about it and go forward because that's the way it works in our world.
careers tennis given
There were many occasions in my career where I could have given up, where I asked myself whether I would ever make it.
years long people
All the people that still believed in me, after seven years - it's a long time.
senior player thinking
I think you always have, you know, new players. Every year you see new faces, juniors coming into the seniors. I was one of them at the time long time ago now.
