I was really encouraged by how the first set went, ... and at the same time, I got a really tight set under my belt. You get nerves whenever a match gets that close, so it was nice to experience that again.

I was happy to get her in the first match because she's the type of player who gets better as tournaments go on. I played well.
gets likely stay win
It is what it is, ... What's important is to see who gets it at the end of the year. If I win the US Open, its most likely to stay with me, so I'll concentrate on that.

I started playing tournaments at 15 and I'm 29 now. It definitely gets a lot tougher as you get older and older.

But if Kim gets it, she'll have totally deserved it. She's played great this year.

I'm really proud of myself that I'm so consistent. But it gets tough to be at the top year after year and not have one of the Grand Slams. Maybe I'll still get lucky.

She's a huge fighter. She manages to stay very positive in some bizarre circumstances in matches.

I am really excited to win over 50 titles, ... That means a lot to me as not many players have won that. I was thinking about it after I won Bali and was glad to be able to do it here right off the bat.
likely stay win
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.

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.
