I don't know if she really cares about what's going on on the other side. I think in the last few matches (I’ve) always been slow starting, so I definitely wanted to give myself a bit more energy than maybe I have done previously.

Honestly at that point I was just so nervous, I thought "I'm not going to be able to hit ground strokes." No joke. As you can see, the one ground stroke I did hit went a hundred feet out. I thought to myself, "Look, Serena, you've just got to hit aces. That's your only choice." I wouldn't have been able to hit a forehand or a backhand or any shot, for that matter.
Serena Williams, on how she ended the match
I played a great tournament and I ran into a really tough champion today.

I love Paris. I spend a lot of time here. I live here. I practice here. I think I am a Parisian.

Diane, you may or may not be happy to hear that Patty Schnyder is playing tennis again.

Sevastova is there, too. Didn't she just retire from pro tennis? Interesting.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was only after I posted it that I saw her name as well. Not quite sure what kind of tournament it is. Looks like a kind of club type thing.
ReplyDeleteOh one more thing, you have Erani losing to Sharapova in the semis. Errani actually played Serena in the semis.
I must have had Sharapova on my mind at that moment. Some good proof-reading does :) Thanks!
