It was a pretty tricky match against a determined opponent. I better get used to playing such opponents and get ready for tougher players as the tournament advances.
It was much tougher for me to play against Venus yesterday because she is playing on a much higher level. Today I knew that we had a great chance to win, and if I were to miss it that would have been terrible for the team.
It's amazing because I had to control my emotions, it's Roland Garros, a Grand Slam and I was playing against a friend.
Karolina's a tough player, ... She's obviously playing with a lot of confidence right now, but I've also had some good results lately, so I'll be going into the final believing I can win.
I'm playing well but she's confident right now,
I could not control my tennis. I'm defending my country. It's a different situation. You're not playing for yourself. There's so many people behind you and you think you're disappointing them.
