Patty Schnyder Played Quotations

Other tournaments are even more important to me personally because I, in the past, have never played really good here. But when I look at the draw and I see how big this event is, I, yeah, am a little bit frustrated.

She played great today and from the start I was not there. I couldn't feel the ball as well as I would like to. I was not happy with the strings at all. I couldn't get the racket strung the way I wanted it.

I could not handle the pressure because her strokes are so powerful and very deep. And she really played good, very solid.

I just cannot play on this surface. I play maybe 50 percent worse on hard, ... I just played for every point but it did not work at the beginning.

I am very happy. I think I played perfect tennis tonight.

I can feel it happening. I (could) tell after I lost in the French Open to Mary Pierce. She had an unbelievable run and I played close. But close is not good enough for me. I want to get to a final.

It hurt a bit, ... I thought we were in Switzerland. I played my heart out all match, and all I heard were people cheering 'Flavia' and 'Italy.' They got behind me in the second set, but I wish they'd been with me from the start.
