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.
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.
again aggressive healthy months played playing pleased ranked stayed today tough win year
I played pretty well today and stayed aggressive because she is a tough opponent, ... This is where it all started for me so I'm really pleased to win again here today. One year ago I was injured, some months ago I was ranked around 130, and right now I am really pleased that I'm healthy and playing well.
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.
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.
body problems quit
I think I will quit at the end of 2007. My body already has a lot of problems now.
felt fresh hit hurt left moving normally previous routine tape today tomorrow treatment wearing
I'm still not moving like I normally can, but a lot better. I just have to do a lot of treatment and everything and that's what I'm doing. I'm not going to hit tomorrow and just keep my routine going so that I'm fresh when I have to be out there. That's why I was wearing my tape today because I felt in my previous match, with the serve, I was just compensating my back a little bit. It started to hurt my left leg, my left hamstring, that's why it's taped today.
