I feel fantastic. It's something really special. Now I can concentrate on my singles career.
I feel fantastic. It's something really special. It means a lot to me. Now I guess I can concentrate on my singles career, especially having a partner like Mahesh, it makes it even more special.
She?s such a great ball striker, ... and if it?s in her hitting zone, she?s going to hit a winner almost every single time.
You have to hit like 10 winners before you get a point because she gets every single ball back. When you give it away, it kills me and that's where I lost my head at the beginning of the second set.
It is pretty unlucky she could not continue. Winning like this is no fun.
I think we all know how well she can really play. But to her credit, I thought she kept fighting until the end.
Well, I think, you know, the university and the high schools are also important, but depends how I'm going to do in tennis - well, I hope. I mean, it depends, so I don't know yet.

It was a match I lost, rather than she won [on Serena Williams winning with an apparent cramp injury at Wimbledon
I mean, it's been quite busy, especially with the rain delay the first few days, and then having to play the late evenings, waiting here every day. It's been kind of difficult.
As I said this year, I didn't try to put any pressure on me by setting high goals or anything, I just want to make sure that every single time I'm out there on the court I do my best, I give 100%, and see where it's going to end up next year.
I guess the attention paid to appearance is something that belongs to tennis too.
I mean, every single time I was there with Mahesh, I just tried to learn something of his game, because he's, you know, one of the best doubles players that's been around ever.
I'm visiting my high school. Every half year I do the exams, and then this year I'm going to graduate.
