It was much tougher for me to play against Venus yesterday because she is playing on a much higher level. Today I knew that we had a great chance to win, and if I were to miss it that would have been terrible for the team.
I could not control my tennis. I'm defending my country. It's a different situation. You're not playing for yourself. There's so many people behind you and you think you're disappointing them.
It was a pretty tricky match against a determined opponent. I better get used to playing such opponents and get ready for tougher players as the tournament advances.
It's amazing because I had to control my emotions, it's Roland Garros, a Grand Slam and I was playing against a friend.
Karolina's a tough player, ... She's obviously playing with a lot of confidence right now, but I've also had some good results lately, so I'll be going into the final believing I can win.
I'm playing well but she's confident right now,
