I’ve been getting better with every match, … After a few games I was able to read her serve, which made it easier for me in the return games. I haven’t won a title in...

I’m playing well but she’s confident right now,

I still think I can be back in the top 10 and top 5, but you need to find inner peace you to reach that goal. It’s tough because you put pressure on yourself or...

I think she was really hurt that she lost to me. Her ego was hurt and she really wanted to give a point to her team. That’s why she found extra motivation.

Karolina’s a tough player, … She’s obviously playing with a lot of confidence right now, but I’ve also had some good results lately, so I’ll be going into the final believing I can win.

I think she can play rallies now. She has definitely improved a lot because she won Wimbledon.

It’s my first tournament on clay and the girl was playing pretty good. Just a couple of mistakes and the match is over. I saw her for the first time in my life so it’s...

I’d never played her before, so it took me a little while to get used to her game. I think it was a good test for me today, but I’ll need to be even better...

When we are on the court we forget that,

I can’t believe I won,

[Russian brunette Anastasia Myskina won her tenth career title on Sunday by capturing the inaugural Sunfeast Open with a 6-2, 6-2 victory against Karolina Sprem, who showed signs of life for the first time all...

I don’t really know how to use the wind when I play. So today I was really concentrating, focus for each point, and try to play every ball and fight for every point.

It was a great match – she played incredible today.

I’m really happy, I’m really enjoying it, … The year wasn’t so good so here I have a goal. I want to win.

It’s amazing because I had to control my emotions, it’s Roland Garros, a Grand Slam and I was playing against a friend.

I know China are very good in table tennis. Let me see what happens in tennis. I am pretty happy with the way I am playing.

You play bad, you drop. You play good, you go up. If I can fight and be like, I don’t know, calm on the court, then I can be Top 10 again. I’m not good...

I think it was a good match, especially after Sydney (where she lost in the first round).

My coach even said that I played well. That’s really new. I’m really happy with that.

That really helps my confidence coming in here. It hasn’t been all that good of a year.

Right now it’s really difficult to understand what I have to do on court, … When the ball comes to me, I don’ know what I have to do, where I have to put the...

It was a pretty tricky match against a determined opponent. I better get used to playing such opponents and get ready for tougher players as the tournament advances.

Hopefully Marat and I will do our best here because last year we lost and it was because of me most of the time,

I just didn’t play well against her. It was my first match and I wasn’t ready for the way she was playing. It was a good match, I just maybe didn’t always have the right...

I must admit, she surprised me a lot by playing such good tennis today,

That’s the worst I’ve ever played. What can you do when you play like that?

When you’ve played two sets against the girl, you kind of know her game, and by the third set I was really comfortable.

The fact that Lindsay is missing gives us an even bigger chance.

She’s a great tennis player. Whatever she’s doing on the court, she’s doing amazing. Especially the way she moves on the court, it’s just unbelievable.

It’s a tough match between us, it’s every time like this. It’s really poignant to win this match.

I could not control my tennis. I’m defending my country. It’s a different situation. You’re not playing for yourself. There’s so many people behind you and you think you’re disappointing them.

I’m not on top of my game, but it’s getting better and better. If I can my get confidence back it will be easier to play. My game is coming back, but my confidence isn’t...

For my second match it’s pretty good,

She did a good thing to move me around. Then I got really tired by the second set. If I would have won the first set, maybe that would be different in the second.

It’s every time like this between us. We grew up together, we play together, we still compete together, so it’s tough between us.

I’m happy as this win will help my effort to regain a place in the top 10,

It’s very special to win this title because it’s been nearly a year since I won a tournament. It’s only the start of the indoor season, and this is a time of year I normally...

But I still have to practice hard if I’m going to play my best tennis.

I didn’t really think that Gisela played really smart with me today, so that was big advantage for me. Definitely, the dropshot was the key, but she didn’t use it.

In Moscow I played the wrong tactic, so I changed it, … I tried to make her move more and to force her backhand and as you see it worked really well.

The victory wasn’t easy, I was a bit nervous at the start of the second set as I struggled with my service, … But I managed to break back immediately after dropping my service, and...

I’m really disappointed with my performance since Australia,

I wasn’t happy with my game but I was never in serious trouble.

I guess it’s not my year right now. The wind changed the game a lot and, you know, there really was a big wind today but, you know, both of us were on the court.

It was more a practice match for me, … I pulled a muscle playing doubles yesterday, but once I was out there today it was getting warm and getting better.

But we can’t play 365 days a year. We’re human beings and can get tired or have a bad day. We can’t just go on the court and be a robot.

Some moves it really bothers me, but some of them were OK. I didn’t really think that Gisela played really smart with me today, so that was big advantage for me. Definitely, the drop shot...

It was much tougher for me to play against Venus yesterday because she is playing on a much higher level. Today I knew that we had a great chance to win, and if I were...
