| Question |
In the entire third set you played incredible tennis. I mean, you are very aggressive, very long. I don't recall you playing that incredible game here. You definitely can win the French Open if you play like that, don't you think? |
| Maria Sharapova |
Can you come to every press conference of mine? (laughter.)
God. Yeah, but, you know, not enough on this particular day. You know, I definitely played some good tennis, but it wasn't enough to win the match. At the end of the day, no matter how good or bad you play, you know, she's the one with the W. |
| Question |
How encouraged are you by the way you've played, not only leading up to this event but in this event itself, as well, giving you some encouragement for the next few months? |
| Maria Sharapova |
Yeah, there's a lot of work to do. You know, this was a good week. It was a long but a solid week. I certainly had my opportunities in this match. It's definitely frustrating when you feel like you had them and just didn't take them, or was a little bit hesitant.
But just, you know, I know the things that hurt me a little bit today. I just really want to go out on that court and just work on them a little bit more, because I know that they will help me a little bit more in the future. |
