Sybille played great tennis today. But I am happy that I won and went through to the semis, ... I was in the final in 2003, so I would like to take it a step further this time.

I'm very happy, it was a good mental win. When I went on today, I was certain about my arm and was not thinking about it at all. I didn't feel a thing.

It was extremely hot out there today and very hard to recover after long points, ... I was feeling like I was a little out of energy and a little uncoordinated during some points. Overall I played well but I think I played too defensively. I should have been more aggressive and fighting for every point.

This was the point, when I got really nervous, ... Being so close to my first title made my legs disappear.

I knew it would be tough, especially because Patty is playing in great form, ... But I beat her two years ago and I was certain I had the potential to repeat this success.

Little distractions were quite annoying. I can almost tell you the phone number she was giving on the phone.
