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.
thinking earth down-to-earth
I think I'm pretty down to earth.
thinking should underestimated
I don't think I should be underestimated.
thinking light years
I'm going with the flow. I feel when the time is right to stop, it will be flashing in neon lights for me, like this is it. It could be this year, it could be next year, I have no idea. Anyone in their profession seems to think it's fairly clear when it's the right time. I haven't had that moment of clarity.
fun thinking play
I think when you start to do well and get your confidence back, everything becomes more fun. When you're playing with not your full capacity of confidence, I think things get a little tough. I knew I could be doing better than what I was doing. Even though I was ranked 5 or 4 or whatever it was, I wanted to get back to the level I thought I could play at.
change
I think we want to change that this year,
side took upsets
I think it took away a lot of it, especially on the women's side . . . on the men's side, you have some upsets once in a while.
hope matter titles win
It is a milestone, ... I hope I get there. But 48 is still pretty amazing, no matter what happens, and it's been great. I couldn't have guessed that I would win that many titles in my career, so I will try and get the 50.
couple fast games great last match
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.
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.
side struggled
I struggled a lot on one side of the court,
compete court definitely exciting force four grand slam three winners
It definitely would make it more exciting if three of the four Grand Slam winners were here. You can't force someone to go out on the court when they don't feel like they want to compete at this level.
control
I thought I was really in control and that's what I wanted to be,
exactly
I'm still not exactly where I want to be. I still feel I can get better and be more consistent.
