I was prepared for a tough match. In the second set, he started to serve much better. He started to come on and he had me under pressure.

She played a good match and she made it tough in the second set,

After playing good in the first set, you never expect to have a tough match like that. It's tough to get in a rhythm after that. He did good to come back, but it's my mistakes that allowed him to come back. I prefer to win 6-0, 6-0 in my matches and make it quick so I can go watch a movie. I'm going back to my room now to watch a tape I have of Million Dollar Baby.

It was just one of those days. I started really well but she improved a lot in the second set. I managed to fight back well in the third set from 4-1, and the crowd really lifted me, but it just wasn’t meant to be. Some days you win these matches, some days you lose them. (Winning here) obviously wasn’t meant to happen this year. Hopefully I can come back next year and do better.

It was a very tough match. He played fast and served big. I played a great first set, it was great to win in two sets.

I just couldn't get my teeth back in the match. I started second-guessing my shots. I never found the pace I was looking for. I played too big some points and some points I would try to control a bit more. Then I'd give him too good of a look.
