'It was a close match and very emotional for both of us. I have had so many matches winning 7-6 in the third, so I know how it feels to be that close and when one point can decide the whole match that we play for almost three hours. It's a great challenge for me to play against someone who is younger, who has nothing to lose, who is from Russia.'

'For me it's very important to play one week before the U.S. Open and to have this match practice, ... Just to play on the same surface and use the same balls they use at the U.S. Open. Especially after the great results at the U.S. Open last year, I decided I would do the same thing this year.'

'I don't think I can change anything in my game, ... I feel disappointed with this loss, but at the same time I know how well I can play. It wasn't my day (Thursday) and she was playing unbelievably well. It's more than two days before I'll play my first match in the U.S. Open so I'll be OK.'
