[女娃] Interview : Svetlana Kuznetsova 19.01.08
Q. What are your thoughts on that?
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: It's pretty simple. I think I beat
myself up out there, so I didn't do much, right things. I
was just playing within myself, and I lost the match and
this is it.
Q. She's beaten quite a few top players. What is it about
her game that's so difficult?
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: For me, it wasn't about her game. She
played well, but I was not doing anything to win the match.
And playing like this, I think I deserve to lose today.
Q. Were you not feeling okay, or was something wrong?
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: I was feeling fine. I was feeling
fine. It's the way I was thinking on the game. The way I
prepare for the game and everything, it wasn't right.
I've got to learn to do it right way next time during Grand
Slams. It's lots of pressure. I got to handle it and got to
play well and do it differently, you know. Otherwise, it
will happen to me many times. You know, I got to learn a
lot from this lose and definitely a very disappointed one,
but I got to go with it. So that's it.
Q. You say you weren't thinking right. What were you
thinking then?
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: Well, it's my problems, you know, what
I was thinking of. But, no, I got to just take a different
way. You know, Grand Slam is very hard. Lots of things
around, which I really have to get more distance from that
and just focus on the game, and that's it.
Q. Is it mental pressure that got to you?
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: Well, the mental pressure, I don't
know. Because the pressure, you make it yourself. If I had
pressure I put it on me myself, and I'm responsible for
that and for this lose.
I mean, the way I've been on the court I didn't deserve to
win today, is this is what happens. I got learn from it and
just try to improve it next time.
Q. You handled pressure in Grand Slams so well before on
many occasions. Why was that different?
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: Every day you live and every day you
are learn, I think. Today was one of those days which my
things didn't work, and I was not thinking properly about
what I have to do. I was just playing within myself there.
I was not doing my right game and right strategy, which I
had to play which I thought of playing for the match.
Q. She played with no pressure whatsoever. She seemed to be
a lot more freer than you were. Is it just a case of her
being young and not having experienced that before, that
she was just enjoying the moment, and you were feeling the
pressure because she was playing so freely?
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: Well, definitely I wasn't feeling that
she was under pressure or not. This is the point. I was not
playing against her, I was playing against me. This is the
main thing. I've been there, and that's it.
About her, I don't know. It can go both ways. When you're
young you normally play Grand Slam without pressure and you
enjoy yourself. Actually, I maybe should have taken an
example and just to enjoy the game. I was not enjoying my
game today. Most of games I play well I enjoy the game, and
this is what I have to do.
Q. Did you feel anything unusual
before you got on the court?
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: No. I mean, you always got some
feelings before the match, the way it was going. I
definitely felt it was going to be a hard match, but I just
didn't play good.
Q. Do you think she's a special young talent?
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: She plays well, you know, but she
doesn't have unbelievable shot. She's consistent and makes
you play every ball.
Q. We saw you playing a very good final in Sydney against
Justine. How tough is this loss to take?
SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA: As I said, the pressure was there and
definitely the expectation because I still know I have the
game. I know it's there, and it's really disappointing to
be on the court and not doing this.
So definitely it crosses my mind and I start to do the
wrong things. So, no, I just have to learn, I have to go
and don't let myself down. Just take positive things. It's
not going to be easy.
This is a pretty tough loss because I think I've been in
the best shape ever in Australian Open, and I just didn't
make it work.
