THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.
Q. What happened? You were able to get it going during the tiebreak when she
was serving for the set, you hit those points. What was going on?
S: Yeah, I kind of gave it all I had in the tiebreaker. Then the third, just
kind of ran out of gas basically.
Q. You've got to believe there's something unfair about a sport that --
THE MODERATOR: Excuse me, sir. Thank you. Next question, please.
(是因為想問戴娃那場比賽的爭議被阻斷嗎？？)
Q. You fought so hard to get back in the third set. You played great points
to fight off the matchpoints. Talk about after you come out after the
bathroom break.
S: Yeah, well, at that point it's pretty tough because physically I didn't
feel like once the points were getting longer, obviously, it was at Kim's
advantage.
You know, like I said, physically, you know, I still have to get a lot
better and, you know, I have to play these three?setters. You know, the
points are going to go on and on and on.
You know, this is not something that's going to happen overnight. I'm only
18 and this is going to take time. My body is still growing and still
adjusting, you know, to my own body.
But, you know, I gave it all I had. I fought really well in the second and
just kind of went downhill from there.
Q. You must be really disappointed. Winning this tournament would really
solidify your position at No. 1. It's a bizarre time in women's tennis.
It's been about two years since the reigning World 1 has won a Grand Slam?
S: Look, I mean, to be No. 1 at 18 is a pretty amazing achievement, so I don't
know what's so bitter about that.
Q. Physically, you even fought back in the third set. You were hitting the
returns. You were hitting the forehands. Did you not feel right there at
the end that you could push through her?
S: Yeah, I just, you know, when the points started getting longer and longer,
I felt that she had the advantage. She was able to execute them well. Yes,
I did have opportunities, and going into the net, and she came up with
great shots.
You know, one or two points, and you never know what could have happened.
But, you know, credit to her, you know; she played well when she needed to.
Q. Your dad's taking a little criticism for being so vocal during your
matches. He was notably quieter today. Was there a connection between
those two things?
S: No. I -- no. I don't really pay attention to that, no.
Q. How do you feel that people were on your side?
S: Yeah, well, I think once I saved those matchpoints, I think obviously
they wanted a better match, because after the first set it looked like
it wasn't going to be much of a match.
So I think the crowd obviously got into it and that's normal. But, yeah,
didn't really, uhm...
Q. What happened in that first set?
S: In the first set? I wasn't hitting my serves. I, you know, broke her,
returned great in the first game, then she broke me back. Also, the
conditions also were not that easy. I mean, the wind was swirling in
that stadium. Against the wind, you know, against such a player that
has such powerful and heavy, deep strokes, I mean, it's difficult.
I just felt like I was late and couldn't find my rhythm in the first.
Q. What are her greatest strengths?
S: That she's able to make you hit another ball and, you know, when she
gets an opportunity her ball is very heavy and big. I mean, the pace
of her shots are very big. Her movement.
I mean...
Q. Does it give you a sense of futility that there's an unfairness about a
sport in which you could play as well as you played today, and still lose?
I think you could have beaten Bill Tilden, Ellsworth Vines, Don Budge, Jack
Kramer, Pancho Gonzalez and Lew Hoad the way you played today, yet you
still lost.
S: Is that a compliment or not? I can't quite understand. I mean, I'm
sorry... (laughing).
Q. The biggest.
S: (Laughing).
Q. How do you see the matchup in the final? What do you think between
Clijsters and Pierce?
S: Unfortunately, the tournament's over for me, so I don't like to think
of that.
Q. You made the point you're still only 18, still very young. When do you
think you will be at your peak, when you will be...
S: When I feel that I will be, I'll let you know. But it's hard, it's hard
to say. I mean, when I was 14, I didn't tell you that I would win Wimbledon
at 17 or become No. 1 at 18. So, I mean...
You just never know. When the time comes, the time's right, then it will
happen. But, you know, takes a lot of work and I'm willing to go back on
the practice court and in the gym, whatever I need to do, and work harder
to, you know, to win the Grand Slams.
Q. In the first changeover, at the end of the first set, what were you
thinking, what did you make up your mind to change going into the second
set?
S: Uhm, well, I mean, the first set was really downhill for me. I mean, I
don't think there was one positive thing in the first set that I really
did. So, you know, I kind of thought, "You just have to change a few things."
But I didn't feel that great in the second as well. I kind of felt like I
was down and, you know, just was able to keep up, keep up, then kind of --
I don't know how I won that second set, so...
Q. How would you describe the way she covers the court and how many balls
she gets to? How would you describe that?
S: Great athleticism. I mean, yeah, she's, you know, she's a great athlete.
She moves amazing, amazingly. I mean, that's a big plus in tennis.
Q. Have there been times when you thought points against her are over and
they're not?
S: Well, that's one of the things I said, she makes you hit an extra ball,
yeah.
Q. Are you disappointed? Do you feel like you could have played better and
you actually could have won that match, or are you thinking you're still
a year or two away conditioning?wise from being able to beat someone like
her?
S: Uhm, yes and no. I mean, of course it's always disappointing. I mean,
I'm not going to lie to you. I'm not here telling you that I feel great
losing.
But, I mean, there are so many things -- yeah, I think there are so many
things that I think I can still improve to become better and to be able
to pull these matches out. But, you know, I thought I did everything I
could and, you know, just one of those days where you did everything you
could, but it didn't really go your way.
So, I mean, you know, bad day at the office. What can you say?
Q. Is this for you the most physically demanding of the four majors?
S: I mean the French also is pretty physically demanding as well as Australia,
and the surface is slower than here.
Q. How long will this one stay with you? Is it gone tomorrow morning?
S: Oh, yeah, it will be gone soon, yeah.
Q. Will you hang around New York and attend fashion week?
S: I will, yes.
Q. What shows?
S: The Marc Jacobs show Monday night.
Q. Is it tough after a loss like that to come in here and have to dissect it?
S: It's normal. I'm pretty used to it. Just kind of, I guess, tell your
feelings, get it out of the way (laughing).
Q. What aspects of your game do you think you need to improve to win a match
like this?
S: Like I said, I think it's all about physical. I don't think there's
something technique-wise or a stroke in my game that, I mean, that I need
to improve tremendously. I mean, yes, I can add power and, uhm, consistency
in my shots. But I think, you know, today's match was a great example, it
was just physical.
Q. What about strategy, like rushing the net?
THE MODERATOR: Okay, anything else? Thank you.
