I wasn't used to the conditions and...I had to kind of gather myself. When I won the second set I was really relaxed and then I just got a little too anxious in the third and was missing a few shots.
I think it's great, I'm actually rooting for her - unless of course she plays me.
She played well, she was ready for the match and she's deserved to win,
I need to be at my peak and my best is holding up the trophy. Anything less I wouldn't be really excited about. So that's all I can focus on.
I can't believe I'm out of the tournament. There's no one, beside Venus, who would beat me,
She is simply too strong, ... I expect to learn something from her, and if I am lucky enough, maybe I could create some chances.
I didn't put it on tight enough because I was rushing to go out,
She's playing unbelievable, so I'm going to have to pick it up. Venus has been working hard for quite some time to turn this thing up. She's always in the gym, running miles, always practicing. . . . It was just a matter of timing.
I've been involved with Berlei for almost my whole career. I actually discovered them well over 10 years ago, probably 2002 at least. My mom introduced me. She said, "Listen, you should try these bras." And I was like, "Really?" So I tried it and since then I've never worn another bra.
I like to wear classic silhouettes and add a punch to it.
I definitely have found a balance, ... I've had so many offers in the past to do different movies or different thing and I always choose tournaments over it.
I'm not used to crying. . . . It's a little difficult. All my life I've had to fight. It's just another fight I'm going to have to learn how to win, that's all. I'm just going to have to keep smiling.
I'm a big supporter of this product for women. And [my relationship with the brand Berlei] was so organic. I would go to the store and buy 40 or 50 bras every year because I could only get them in Australia at the time. And then eventually they heard that I would come and take all the stock.
In the locker rooms, I'm always suggesting, "You need Berlei." Because it's the best brand for women and for me.
