It was a comedy of errors, ... She's definitely a good player but I don't think she came out there and beat me. I just kept making error after error.
It's definitely more of a celebration to play in the finals. The fourth round, it's just really strange.
I'm definitely in a lot better form than I was last year.
I had a lot of opportunities, but she definitely played the best. I don't know if I'll take some time off. Sometimes your youth seems to pass you by because of work. I sometimes feel like I want to be young.
If she wins or loses, I'm extra motivated either way. When she wins, I definitely want to be like her.
I feel a little more tired than usual, ... I've had to recover from everything, my illnesses and things this summer. It's not perfect circumstances, but I'm definitely going to be out there and hopefully have my letdown after the Open ... I think I'll go in mentally a lot better. When it comes down to it I don't think anyone really wants to play me because I have a lot of weapons and not a ton of weaknesses. My main weakness would probably be an occasional self-destruction mode. So I'll try not to touch that red button accidentally.
She's definitely on the verge of more great things, for sure.
She's definitely a little more fiery than I am, ... I keep it a little more even-keel.
No, I don't really watch the news. In some ways, I'm very unaware of the latest happenings in the world. I kind of leave it like that because sometimes it's better not to know.
It's what we thought we would always do, so it's a wonderful thing.
I'm feeling good, ... I think it was good for me to be away -- I think it extended my career. At this point I prefer to do tennis more than anything else.
Serena and I are exactly the opposite of anything that ever happened before in the game. The old tennis world was pretty reserved. Serena and I are bold. We stand out. We have color. We're strong. We're pretty. We have personalities. We think things out. We're smart.
It was deathly windy! It was just swirling at random.
I'd like to achieve health the whole year, stay strong and stay healthy and avoid the viruses,
