head shake
We'll see. I think it's just one of those things where you shake your head about it in disbelief.
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.
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.
played second third
I was just able to eke out the second set, and the third set I just played a lot better and she started to make a lot more unforced errors.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

But I've said all along one you get to this point in the year, really you see at the end of the year who the number one player is.

Amelie and I played such a tough, tough match at Wimbledon that I expect another one tomorrow,
beaten players plays soon top
I still feel like I would have beaten a lot of players today. She's going to be at the top as soon as she plays more and more.
