We both knew what to expect from one another. I was watching her growing up and playing.
The first point is always to believe in it when you go on court and then you have the chances to win.
There is no doubt Amelie is the best player in the tournament. I am playing well and I am not too disappointed with my loss.
There are people in the locker room talking about the players' party tonight. I'm like, 'What? What are you talking about? At the Delano? Oh, really. I think I have to play on Friday. But maybe after I'll have plenty of time to (go out).' Definitely, South Beach is one of the places you always like to visit. I'll give myself a few days, hopefully over a week, to go there.
Maybe all these three years, I freshened up a little. I'm just really enjoying every second of being around here.
Now I look at it differently because I'm a little older - I don't take it for granted anymore. When you're 17, 18, you think it's ongoing, but it's not. Now I know it. I try to do everything possible to not get any injuries. Be more disciplined.
I'm not looking for any excuses. She was just too good today. I've had a very good start to my comeback and I will go home with my head up.
The older you get, the more you learn.
