Definitely I felt like I always played well in Tokyo, I like the fast speed of the ball, it's very similar to grass.

She?s such a great ball striker, ... and if it?s in her hitting zone, she?s going to hit a winner almost every single time.

You have to hit like 10 winners before you get a point because she gets every single ball back. When you give it away, it kills me and that's where I lost my head at the beginning of the second set.

I had inflammation of tendonitis and felt it three days ago so I couldn't practice before the tournament,

This was one of the best matches I've played against her. I tried to step it up a little bit, went for my shots and be aggressive, but at same time be a little smarter.

I was very pleased with the way I played today because Lisa is very tough to play indoors,
