Nicole Vaidisova Quotations

My expectations are higher, ... I think if I play my best, I can go at least to the final.

I got my rhythm in the second set and was able to close out the match. I'm not trying to break any records. I'm just playing and winning and just happy about that.

I didn't mean to hit it that way. I was upset and I was dumb.

I don't feel good about today's match, ... I didn't play well at all. I have to improve to achieve something here.

I'm always a lot into the matches. She's a top player. She stepped up her game. It's a learning process and you get experience every match. I'm relieved. It was my final tournament of the season and I'm tired.

I think the question is, 'What was not the problem?

Physically I was well, mentally I was well. I just never got into my rhythm.

Sure, I have a little confidence after winning two titles, but everything is new here. It is new balls, a new court and different temperatures. It's very different than Seoul and Tokyo. It was a slow start, but then I got more comfortable in the second set and was able to get the win.

My rhythm was off at the beginning, ... I just didn't get used to the court and the balls, coming from Seoul and Tokyo. I was 3-5 behind but came back. I ended the match pretty well.

It feels good. I don't think it could get any better than this. I was pretty consistent today, and I'm happy with the way I played overall. I think I challenged her today and showed that I could beat a higher-ranked player when I'm on my game.

It feels good, ... I don't think it could get any better than this. I was pretty consistent today, and I'm happy with the way I played overall. I think I challenged her today and showed that I could beat a higher ranked player when I'm on my game. My game has improved and I'm happy, but I'm still going to keep working hard on everything overall.

I think I've been playing more steadily this year, ... Last year, I would have a good week, then a bad one, but I think this year, I've improved my consistency. I know there is a lot to improve, but I'm happy with my progress so far.

I thought my rhythm was off today, and I didn't feel so good out there. After I was 4-3 down (first set), I tried to stay calm and get focused. I was able to get through the match, but I definitely need to improve my game.

I thought it was a good match, ... I hope that I would have won anyway, and I think I could have closed it out, but those are just 'maybes.' I thought she was moving really well and got to a lot of balls. I hope that we'll meet again in a final.

It was definitely humid. Last week I was in Florida where it's 10 times more humid, so I'm fine with it.

I had a chance to get back into the match, but I made too many stupid mistakes. It's kind of frustrating because with just three sets, if you feel a little bit off, you can't get back.

In the second set, I picked it up very fast, just dictating play, so she didn't get any rhythm,
