hope sort waiting
Every day I hope it improves. But I'm sort of waiting every day and see how it feels. So I can't tell you yet (if I'm going to play).
doctors goes hear level maybe negative reach sort thinking tough
When doctors say, 'It's going to be very tough for you, maybe not to quit, but to reach that same level again,' that's very frustrating to hear. In a way, you hear it, and it sort of goes in and out because you don't want to keep thinking about the negative thoughts.
sort trying
It was sort of in my hands. I was the one making the mistakes. I was just trying to do a little too much.
incredible
I think we're going to have an incredible US Open,
against aggressive sure
I think what you have to do when you play against her is just make sure you play aggressive tennis.
aggressive ball bit close felt good played second shame straight third
I think it was going to be a close one. It's a shame it had to happen. I think Amelie played a really good second set. From the start, I felt that she was a little bit more aggressive on the second, third ball straight away...Yeah, very frustrating week.
enjoying playing
I think that's why I'm playing so well - I'm enjoying myself.
kept nice pressure start stayed sure
It is a nice start for me, ... I had to make sure I kept the pressure on and stayed aggressive.
against ahead gets incredible start
I think especially against her it's important from the start to get into the match. When she gets ahead she can play incredible tennis.
difficult physically tougher
Physically it will be a difficult match, a lot tougher than today,
although healthy mean physically ready win
Physically I feel healthy and that's the most important thing. That makes me ready to go at Flushing Meadows, although that doesn't mean I'm going to win it.
best feeling playing tennis
Playing here is the best feeling I have ever had on a tennis court.
best whatever
Players, obviously, we're going to do whatever is best for us and our bodies,
crowd flags matter speak supporting
I think I can speak for Justine, too. No matter where we go there is always a lot of Belgian flags in the crowd supporting us.
