break needs pace rhythm start
When I'm ready, I would like to start serving. I know she does it and it's her way, but I think on the serve, you should go with the pace of the server. She needs the time, I guess. I don't think it's really to break my rhythm or something, it's just that she needs it.
advantage feeling happened match pushed rally rare tired took
I was just off, and she was all over me. She just took advantage and didn't let it go. I had the feeling when I rally with her, I was getting tired and pushed back too much, just too much power. It's really one of the rare ones where there was no match at all. I don't really know what happened to me.
I was just off and she was all over me.
handle played powerful pressure strokes
I could not handle the pressure because her strokes are so powerful and very deep. And she really played good, very solid.
champions great last
It will be a classic. She's just one of the great champions of the last 10 years.
crowd happy point support
I'm very happy to be in the semis, ... I told the crowd 'please support me from the first point on tomorrow.'
beginner beginning coordinate dizzy feeling felt hands legs second three
I started to feel unwell at the beginning of the second set, after two or three games. I was feeling dizzy like I couldn't coordinate what my legs and what my hands were doing. I felt like a beginner out there.
beat few less
If I want to win, it's like she has to play less than 100 percent. If I want to beat her, really everything has to go my way. It's just very few times that that can happen.
good move
I think just generally, my footwork was really not good and it was uncomfortable to move around the court.
booming great martina successful tennis
It's great that we are so successful and that tennis is booming in our country. As for having Martina being back, it's incredible.
few home move proud support weeks wish
I wish we could play more weeks here and why not the U.S. Open, move it down to Charleston. They make me feel at home and it's just a very few weeks where you really feel that support and I'm proud of it.
fight focus good run second
She had a pretty good run in the second set and I really had to fight back and focus on every point,
