I just really like playing here. I've always had good results here and those memories kick in as well.

There are always little aches and pains but as long as I pace myself I should be OK. As for the ankle, so far, so good.

I was a little nervous going into the match. She pushed me right away but I was able to adjust to where she was serving and my reaction got better. Thank god I still have those skills.

That gave me a lot of confidence making the last eight and showed I had some kind of game. It exceeded my expectations....The confidence, it showed in today's game. The potential is there and I can improve every week.

I was always saying when I came back if I could play her, and tomorrow, the day has arrived.

I don't think it's a low point being in the finals of the French Open, three points away from the victory.
