adjust conditions court match outdoors playing pleased quickly tough winning
I'm very pleased with winning my first match here today. It's always tough to adjust to the conditions after playing outdoors the whole summer, but I got used to the court pretty quickly today.
arm ball bit feeling great hitting imagine overall playing seeing using
I feel like I'm a little bit restricted, especially with the serve. I feel like I'm just using my arm out there. I feel like I'm not really doing too much with my movement. But overall I feel like I'm hitting the ball well. I'm hitting the ball clean, I'm seeing the ball well. That's why it's even more frustrating because just imagine if I would be feeling fine. It would be a great feeling to have, just playing well and not having too many other things going on.

I've lost to her some big matches already, ... It's great to win some, as well. Any victory means a lot. For some reason, since my injury, they mean twice as much now. I enjoy it a lot more. I'm playing well. I don't think I could have done much better with my preparation.

It's going to be a tough match tomorrow, Amelie is playing great. It's getting closer towards the end so if I win, great, if I lose I get to go home, so that's good, too.

ankle favorite forward indian injured looking next playing require time withdraw
I am very disappointed to have to withdraw from Indian Wells. I re-aggravated the right ankle that I injured in Australia, and now require some time off to get back to 100 percent. Indian Wells has always been one of my favorite tournaments, and I am very much looking forward to playing there next year.
court focused moving opening patient playing stayed throughout
I think I stayed very focused and very patient throughout the whole match, ... Even when I was 4-1 up, I was playing really well at the start. I was moving around, just from side-to-side, opening up the court a lot.

I love this (tournament). This is me more than anything else. I love playing in a small environment -- it's more cozy,

Mary kept the points a lot shorter. She tried to go for too much at the Open.
