Daniela Hantuchova Tried Quotations

This was one of the best matches I've played against her. I tried to step it up a little bit, went for my shots and be aggressive, but at same time be a little smarter.

It was really difficult out there and I just tried to make sure I put as many balls as possible in court, and not go for too many crazy shots or go for the lines

I just tried to be a bit calmer and patient.

I have so much respect for the way she plays, ... I just tried to keep fighting for every point. I went for my shots and it paid off.

I've been playing really well the whole summer and it's very satisfying to start a tournament like this, ... I missed a few opportunities early in the first set but I just kept going for my shots and tried to stay calm and believe in what I was doing. She serves hard but I felt I was in control and it was just a matter of time.

I felt like I was serving really well, especially in the second set, ... That gave me a lot of easy points. I got on top of her and didn't let her play the way she likes, and I tried to be really aggressive but at the same time not going for really crazy shots.
