argue deserve disrespect low priority saying
I'm not going to argue that I deserve to be No. 1. I don't want to disrespect it by saying it's low on the priority, but it's not up in my priority list.
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.
angeles defending forward healthy looking los next
I am looking forward to getting healthy and defending my year-end No.1 ranking at the WTA Championships in Los Angeles next week,
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.

coming last nice quicker week
After coming off a long week like last week, it was nice just to have a quicker match.
coming court fly great high losing opportunity perform relax tournament win york
Coming here, it's been a really great opportunity to relax and get back out on the court right away after losing in New York ... I wouldn't fly all this way if I didn't want to win the tournament and perform at a high level.
erratic match nearly point points quite returns
I don't feel at any point of the match that I really had any rhythm. I don't think I got nearly as many returns in today. ... It was a much more erratic match, where the points were just going fast. I didn't know quite what was going to happen.
panicked uptight
I wasn't panicked and I wasn't uptight about anything.
players relative seems stepping top
It seems like the top players are really stepping up and have been getting through with relative ease,
anyone certain change delay expected fantastic locker looking personally players rain room sweat time tough unprepared unsure watching
It's fantastic when you're done (and) you're watching everyone else in the locker room sweat it out, but it's very tough when rain interrupts play. A lot of time it can change the momentum. Players get stiff, you're always unsure of when it will stop. And I think certain players are personally unprepared for it at certain venues. At Wimbledon, you're always looking up, like, ?OK, one more game.' I don't think anyone would have expected a long rain delay here in the desert.
learn per served
Someone said she served at 125, 126 (miles per hour) here. So I have to learn some more about her.
balls bit control errors felt obviously played
I felt like a lot of it had to do with me, ... I just felt like I was making errors on balls I didn't need to make errors on. I was never really in control of points...(I'm) just annoyed. You obviously want to play a little bit better than what I played in a quarterfinal match.
exactly
I'm still not exactly where I want to be. I still feel I can get better and be more consistent.
