Everybody wants to grow up sometime. And you have to experience that maybe it's not going to work out the way you expected it to.
It's been three years, a long time. We'll see how it goes here. It's a challenge and exciting. Every week is different.
It was great proof to myself. I'm relieved, I'm happy. I think I can be proud of myself. You think I'm just going to give up now?
I want to see what she's got. I haven't played her since she was 12.
It was beautiful to walk in there. I could already feel the atmosphere coming from the previous years.
It was definitely a good performance today. I played smart and concentrated throughout the whole match. It was key in the first games to hold serve.
I've got a couple of days' rest now, so I'll just try to flush it out before next week. I've got some time.
I've exceeded my own expectations and am happy to be playing good tennis once again.
It was probably one Russian too many. It used to be I had to play both Williams sisters and Lindsay Davenport, now it's the Russians. (But) I have surpassed all my expectations of my comeback and feel very good knowing I can go out there and play with the best players in the world.
It takes me a little while to read, but I just really like playing here. In the past I had really good results, so those memories are kicking in as well.
It's very exciting, especially when you feel like you're right.
It took me three years to recharge my brain and my body and hopefully I can keep playing like this.
She lives close by and I know she takes it very seriously. To beat her here, it's great.
So far, so good. I'm definitely very happy with the progress I'm making. Today probably wasn't my prettiest game, but it was effective.
