Patty Schnyder Win Quotations

There was a lot going on. In the first set, she was not on the court yet, and I was there. So I was really quick. Then I think it was pretty close all the games, and I started to be really nervous thinking too many things. Because it would be my first victory at the Championships and it means so much to me, I got too nervous. I couldn't play anymore. In the third set, I just stayed calm and was so lucky to hold my serve the first few games to get my confidence back and hit some winners and serve well.

I faced an opponent who was just ready for everything I had today. She was maybe lucky in the first set to win it, but she was definitely better over the two sets. She deserved to win, but I made her play.

This is huge. I really think she is the greatest clay-court player there is at the moment. It's just amazing that I could come back and win it at the end.

It's just amazing that I could come back and win it at the end.

I'm happy to win the opening match. I came here to win one or two matches, ... I just don't see the way I can win this event.

She was maybe lucky in the first set, a little bit, to win it. Sometimes it's like that.

She's a great player and I'm really happy to win such a difficult match and to win overall,

It was a really tough match and I was lucky to save the match point. And I am looking forward to winning two more matches here.
