I think in about two or three months it will be easier to kind of tell. She’s a champion. She’s a great tennis player. It’s pretty open right now, so it’s a good time actually...

I was practicing yesterday and it was at the every end when I was hitting some serves that I felt it on the serve. I continued to finish my practice and was feeling it on...

In the first set, Kim wasn’t playing well. Something was bothering her and she wasn’t moving. I was surprised how I won the first set quickly and easily.

It’s a beautiful story,

It’s amazing. What can I say? I’m 30. This is my 17th year on the tour, and there’s still firsts for me. That’s pretty exciting.

She’s a great girl, you know,

I love this court, … I have so many happy memories: my victory, my two finals, the support from the fans.

I was fairly happy. I played well. I knew I needed to be aggressive today. I played good enough to win.

She seemed hampered with her movement, … She’s always pretty quick. She seemed a little bit slower today.

I knew I needed a hold to win that match,

What can I say? … I am 30 and I have been on the tour for 17 years and there are still firsts for me. That’s pretty amazing.

Once you get to the top of the game, there are tons of girls now that can play really great tennis. We’ve got at least 10 that can win a tournament any week. So when...

That was a great thing to play Kim first. After playing her, everybody else is going to be easier because Kim is the quickest.

It was just one of those days. Probably April or May was my last bad match. If I only have a bad match every nine months, it’s OK.

Women’s tennis is a lot tougher now that it was 10 years ago. So for me to be competing in the top now means I need to be stronger and faster and better than before.

She was very motivated out there. I could see it, she wanted it. She knew that she needed to play really well and be aggressive to be able to beat me and she did that.

It’s amazing, … What can I say? I’m 30. This is my 17th year on the tour, and there’s still firsts for me. That’s pretty exciting.

I felt like I played well and did what I needed to win,

Kim, congratulations, … I’m so happy for you. You’re such a sweet girl, and you’re a fantastic player.

I think in the past it was just kind of difficult for me to just play my best in this environment, … I feel that the difference this year for me is the experience and...

The French Open final, I think, just kind of started my confirmation of what I really believed in myself, what I had been working really hard for over a year for,

There was just this little voice inside of me that said, ‘You know, you’re not done. Now is not the time to retire. You still have some great things to accomplish in tennis.’ ‘ 

I think before when I was first coming out on the tour and young, you know, you’re very hungry to achieve and to have success and to make money, to win tournaments, to get a...

Her serves weren’t as fast, … It can be difficult playing against somebody who is hurt.

I was just hoping it would be better than the last match.

I can’t believe it. This is amazing. This is so good. The fans really helped me today.

There was just kind of like this little voice inside of me that just said, ‘You know, you’re not done,’

I didn’t want my opponent to know there was anything wrong with me,

I definitely have to give her credit. She played solid. She came up with some really good shots at times. (But) it’s difficult. I didn’t give her a chance to play much, as well. If...

My life off the court has changed. I’m feeling good inside, so I guess it shows on the outside too.

I was really playing well, not making too many mistakes, … I was really pleased with my first set.

I think I was 6-2 down once and won, but never from 6-0.

She made me play bad, I guess you could say, because she is far quicker than all the other girls that I’ve played so far. She got another ball back every time.

I’m just happy to play anybody right now, … (Winning) would be just unbelievable. It would just be amazing. It would really be amazing.

You never know, this could be my last one, … Not because I want it to be, but who knows what can happen in life? So each time that I get farther and do better,...

weirdest situation that I’ve ever experienced in a Grand Slam.
