easy expected felt few four handled last matches played row sets straight tough weeks win won
It's tough sometimes to play four weeks in a row and still to come out on top, ... I've played a lot of matches the last few weeks and I felt this whole week was a success. I won in straight sets every match, and it's not always easy to win when you're expected to win. I felt I handled that very well this week.
bizarre chance fate feeling felt four hands last year
It's great, ... It's really, really a bizarre feeling to put your fate in other people's hands so to speak. It's unbelievable to do it four times. I wouldn't have felt last year that I have a chance to do that again.

break came chance couple last match played playing points second start third turn win
It just came down to the one break. I had my chance to go for the break in the third, and to get back even in the last game, and I just didn't win those couple of points today. So you know, I didn't start the match playing well, but I was able to turn that around and start to play better and played well at the end of the second set. And even the third set I played okay.
seemed serves tried trying
I was, today, trying to get a lot of just first serves in and not tried to go for too much, ... (It) seemed to work.
encouraged experience gets match nerves nice tight whenever
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.
bizarre huge manages positive stay
She's a huge fighter. She manages to stay very positive in some bizarre circumstances in matches.
bali excited glad means players thinking win won
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.
