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.
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.
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 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.
win
I want to win this again, and as long as I can keep going I have a chance.
excited win year
I am very excited I was able to win here, my first year here,
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.
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.
difference far finds girl level opponent playing power sure top win
More than anything, the girl finds a way to win and finds a way to get her opponent uncomfortable; I'm sure she has a way to negate power still. Sometimes, we have a difference in level between top 10 and then 10 through 20, but so far she's been playing excellent.
beginning compete consistent forward game good looking matches obviously playing predicted trying week win
I wouldn't have necessarily predicted that at the beginning of the week, ... I didn't know how my game would be. Obviously I am a consistent performer, but the way everything has kind of panned out it's been a good week for me, just trying to win matches and trying to be out there and win and compete when I don't feel like I am playing my best, and looking forward to another opportunity.
belt exciting nice obviously win year
It's nice to come out on top, especially in a year that I didn't think that would be the case, ... Obviously it is very exciting to win here after I have been here so many years. It is nice to have this under my belt going into the U.S. Open.
grand judged slam title titles win
I want to win this title again. I think that you are really, at the end of the day, judged on how many Grand Slam titles you have, and probably how many titles you have.
chances coming kept normally pull struggling till today win
Normally you don't want to give yourself that many chances till you win it, ... I kept coming back here, kept always struggling in the finals. And today I was happy, finally, after all these years, able to pull it out.
