KIM CLIJSTERS
THE MODERATOR: Questions for Kim.
Q. Nice weather out there, huh?
KIM CLIJSTERS: When Marat and Jarkko were playing, once we went outside, I was
watching upstairs a little bit, I could just see them like
battling on one side.
Yeah, it was tough, especially on the left side there. Yeah, it
was sort of against the wind. Yeah, just battling through it,
you know, trying to hit as hard as you can to get the ball deep.
Yeah, but, you know, it's good to have these kind of matches
sometimes. You know, they don't always have to be 1-1.
Especially in my situation now, I definitely don't expect that.
I'm very happy to get through this, especially in the second set
with a tiebreaker.
Q. Was the weather tougher or the wait?
KIM CLIJSTERS: No, that's okay. I think by now by being on the tour for about
five years, you're used to the waiting. But the weather, I mean,
this is definitely a place where the weather, and especially the
sand storms and the winds can blow up. Yeah, but, you know, it
was -- you know, it's been a while. I've been practicing indoors
for about six months, without sun or wind.
But it was I think a challenge to get through this today.
Q. How was it moving and running when the sand is getting higher?
KIM CLIJSTERS: It's easier for me to slide. It's a little bit more slippery.
Yeah, so -- but you don't really -- you just sometimes see when
the ball bounces, you see a little bit of dust fly up.
Q. Did you watch any of Mauresmo's match?
KIM CLIJSTERS: I did. I was watching a little bit in the locker room after my
practice, just the second set -- the third set I was watching.
Q. You've been off the tour a year and every time you turn around there's
another Russian girl?
KIM CLIJSTERS: It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. Like I say, when I came --
even in Antwerp, because the draw was smaller, and I knew pretty
much all of the girls.
Yeah, here, there's so many girls that I don't even know. You
know, I speak to my sister at home, and she knows them all from
Juniors. You know, it's funny to see how I'm definitely not the
youngest one out there any more.
Yeah but, you know, I think with all the examples that they've
had over the last year, I think it's just -- you know, it's been
very motivating I think for all the other girls that are still
practicing in Russia and seeing them practicing there, as well,
and maybe practicing with them, as well. So I think you learn a
lot from that.
I remember when I was younger, I was always lucky to be able to
hit with Sabine Appelmans when she was at home. And those kind
of things helped because you learn just not things on court, but
also off court, seeing how they prepare. For young girls, I
think those things are very important.
Q. Happy to get three matches in a row?
KIM CLIJSTERS: And without pain. For me, that's my first thing, my first goal,
like that I'm the most satisfied about, is that my wrist is
holding up, yeah.
