It was beautiful to walk in there. I could already feel the atmosphere coming from the previous years.

I think I've come a far way. I haven't won a tournament yet or grand slams. They're coming up. I think already that I showed that I've still got some game.

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

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.
