Kim Clijsters Played Quotations

She started really well. No matter how well I played in the first set, I think she would have won it.

She definitely hits the ball a lot harder than she used to when I played her in the previous times. By getting more matches and more rhythm and everything, she's going to improve even more.

She just played great tennis, ... I don't think I played my best tennis in any of those matches. But tomorrow has nothing to do with those matches.

I would have loved to have played another year under his guidance,

I felt like I played well and did everything that I could, and it just wasn't good enough at the end.

I think it was going to be a close one. It's a shame it had to happen. I think Amelie played a really good second set. From the start, I felt that she was a little bit more aggressive on the second, third ball straight away...Yeah, very frustrating week.

Well, I didn't do too bad the tournaments after that, ... But I felt like I played well that match. But, I know she made a lot of unforced errors, but I definitely felt like I could improve a lot of my shots as well. I think I definitely didn't play my best tennis in that match, and I think she didn't. I know she didn't. So, it's give and take.

I've been happy with how I've played all summer. It took a while to get my rhythm since I hadn't been on Armstrong Stadium court in quite some time.

This is the best she's ever played against me,

That's the best she's ever played against me. When she's on, she hits the ball harder than anyone on the Tour and I think you could see today her serve has improved a lot too. She's always very dangerous... I think for me it was one match too much physically. I've done really well the last few weeks and months to keep playing as well as I have and I had to have a let down at some point.

I want to have a match here so that I don't go into the Australian Open without having played a match for a week and a half, two weeks almost.

I played pretty well today and stayed aggressive because she is a tough opponent, ... This is where it all started for me so I'm really pleased to win again here today. One year ago I was injured, some months ago I was ranked around 130, and right now I am really pleased that I'm healthy and playing well.

I don't think either of us played our best tennis today. My footwork and movement was not as it should be and I made a few unforced errors but that's tennis.

I don't want to make excuses because I haven't played so many matches and that this was my first match on clay this season. I had trained and I was ready.
