“Again, I did not play my best tennis, but was able to raise my game when it was important, at 5-2 down in the first set and in the closing stages of the match.”
“The French played better on key points -- even when we had break points they served perfectly. Our poor teamwork was not the reason for our defeat -- the French pair just played better today.”
“I played a great match, but I think the crowd played a big part today, ... There were so many spectators cheering for me that it probably helped me to play even better.”
“In the first set, when I did not feel pain, the result was like it should be. In the second set, I felt pain when I was serving at 1-0 and my play changed.”
