bit confident felt match second surprised win
I felt confident in the second set when I went ahead. I thought I was going to win the second set, then felt pretty confident if I did that I would win the match in the third. A bit surprised ... that didn't happen.
beaten played twice year
We've played twice this year and I haven't beaten her, but I'll just give it my best.
We'll see what happens. I'll just give it my best.
huge
Its super to play with Martina, and she has huge amounts of talent. We have a lot of fun.
asks interact kid says top
If someone asks me a question, that says they appreciate what I do and that's nice. And I know what it was like when I was a kid to want to interact with a top player.
people
It's been interesting. I went through a period where a lot of people would recognize me, and then when I had injures and my ranking dropped, not as many people did.
different sometimes easy
I'm a different person off the court than I am on the court, where I'm very competitive, a perfectionist, and I can be hard on myself sometimes. Off the court, nothing really bothers me. I'm easy-going.
needs clarity
I definitely need clarity.
play games kind
The main thing is just really to play my game... and while you are playing the match, as it goes along, you kind of figure things out.
opponents littles information
I like to go on the court and have a little bit of information about my opponent.
winning expectations stuff
Winning a Grand Slam changes everything. There is so much off-court stuff to deal with. And there are expectations of keeping it going that make it tough
careers one-day want
I haven't accomplished everything that I want to yet in my career, that's why I'm still playing. I just know that I still have something left inside of me to accomplish, and I don't know exactly what that is. Hopefully, I'll know one day soon
want opponents knows
I didnt want my opponent to know there was anything wrong with me.
fitness healthy levels
I'm healthy now. I probably wouldn't say I'm at my best fitness level and I haven't played that much lately, but I'm healthy and that's all that matters.
