The girl is such a great athlete and so good off the ground,

I hung in there, played some good points and found myself in a third set. Her level went down in the third set and I was hitting the ball much cleaner then. To play her here in the first match is probably the most difficult draw I could have had, so I’m glad to get through it.

We definitely are seeing more and more players coming through. A lot of the younger players are doing well. Now there are six or seven players who could take a Grand Slam.

I was never a prodigy.

I still feel a little worn down, ... It was a great but demanding two weeks. I started to feel a bit better today but getting over a loss like that is probably the toughest thing you have to do.

Getting everybody playing is the first step to really getting it back to a premier sport.
