I was very pleased with the way I played today because Lisa is very tough to play indoors,

I’m really pleased with my week so far, ... It’s nice to do well here again. I think today’s match was closer than the score reflected. There’s no special secret to how I’m playing at the moment, I’m just making sure I’m doing the right things at the right time now.

I was really struggling with the wind today. I couldn't really figure out which way it was blowing. The conditions were very tough and Vera just dealt with it much better.

Definitely I felt like I always played well in Tokyo, I like the fast speed of the ball, it's very similar to grass.

This was one of the best matches I've played against her. I tried to step it up a little bit, went for my shots and be aggressive, but at same time be a little smarter.

Yes, yes, I'm very happy that I finally got through this match, beat No. 7 in the world. It's my best win so far. So I'm really happy the way I play today and felt really strong on the court physically, mentally.
