Pity, but Justine and I are not at war at all 08-08-2003
The so-called fight between Justine and me is heavily exaggerated. It sounds
like a clich? but yet again things have been blown out of proportion. The
facts. After the match the interviewer himself asked me about the time out
and whether or not I had noticed something wrong about Justine before,
because the injury didn't seem to hinder her at all after all. I answered
that apparently it hadn't. She did play a very strong second and third set
afterwards, didn't she? He seemed able of running all the way.
I never said she didn't have any blisters!
I haven't seen Justine after the game, because I was preparing for the
doubles final. However, I have been chatting with Pierre-Yves (Hardenne,
her husband) in the Players Lounge and we had a good laugh as well. I don't
think one does so if you can't stand the other. The American press didn't
go into it (and in the end: they were physically present at the match).
Apparently some people in Belgium would do nothing but to find a possible
problem between us and then I will have to disappoint everyone involved,
because there are none. Justine played very well again. I started really
strong, in the first set my service game was truly strong and I made few
errors.
In the second set the service didn't work that well any longer, I didn't
even succeeded in passing the 100 miles an hour threshold. I felt the right
rhythm slowly slip away as well less focused, especially mentally and yes I
guess playing doubles doesn't really help it. I lost the first set against
Capriati in Stanford but I fought back, just like Justine did in San Diego.
And I felt it wasn't working this time.
So I conclude I probably have to play less doubles in the future. Being a
bit more selective and choosing my moments. But I won't let go, I enjoy
playing doubles far too much. Normally the top 10 is only for specialists
and I quite like it to be up there as a non-specialist!
