I felt like, for awhile there, I couldn't have played much worse - like, it was not good.

I want to win this title again. I think that you are really, at the end of the day, judged on how many Grand Slam titles you have, and probably how many titles you have.

If I win the U.S. Open, I'll most likely stay there. So I'll just concentrate on that.

I was actually a little nervous. I've been counting down the days because I wanted to play.
annoyed desire felt heart hope played time totally
I hope I have that desire in me when the time comes. I'm annoyed at the moment. At Wimbledon, I played my heart out and totally got beat. Today, I felt like a lot of it had to do with me.
coming expect experience happy held matches matter played test winning
I'm very happy to be here winning the title, ... No matter how much experience or how long you have played you never really know what to expect after coming back from an injury. I really wanted to come in here and kind of test my back and play matches and see how everything held up.

I am looking forward to getting healthy and defending my year-end number one ranking at the WTA Tour Championships,
allowing balls bit broken coming definitely difference felt game great happy harder inside obviously overall played second together
I think the difference in the second set was once I got broken to 2-2 I felt like she played with a little bit more confidence, ... The balls were definitely coming a little bit harder and deeper. She wasn't really allowing me to be inside the baseline as much as I was in the first set. I didn't play a great game to get broken, but overall I got it back together at the end and obviously I'm happy to come out with a victory.

After coming off a long week like last week, it was nice just to have a quicker match.

While I still have more good days than bad days, I'm going to keep playing.

You always want to get the match over with as fast as you can, ... But I've got to say, she did play some great shots. The last couple of games were really close.

To be honest, I was surprised I was number one up until today.
