We don't have play time anymore because she's always on the computer. ... I'm like, 'Are you serious? Why don't you come to the pool?'
I had worn five carat diamond earrings at Wimbledon. But the earrings I had today were $40,000 earrings on loan and one fell out during the first set. New York and the U.S. Open are the biggest stages and I wanted to do something special. I love everything about the U.S. Open except the line calls.
I disagree 100 percent with that, ... We've had some incredibly tough matches.
I can't say I'm sad, ... I can't necessarily say I'm very disappointed.
Two or three years ago, she was playing really awesome, ... Now she's playing unbelievable.
To me it doesn't matter. If they'd closed the roof I would have been okay, but if they kept it open I was fine too.
She played well, she was ready for the match and she's deserved to win,
She is simply too strong, ... I expect to learn something from her, and if I am lucky enough, maybe I could create some chances.
We're going in really fresh, ... We're going to have fresh legs and bodies, we're going to be able to stay the distance, and that's our goal.
Like I said, in a later round, it's definitely easier, ... I've never played her this early, so it's a little tough.
Last year we in Palm Beach got hit really bad,
I was fighting, and it was pretty much all I had, ... It didn't feel good, and I wasn't moving to any balls. I was trying to shorten points and just do what I could.
So, I can only imagine what it must be like in New Orleans, especially looking at all the footage, all the rain, all this horrible stuff. I thought it would be just a halfway decent gesture.
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.
