BRISBANE INTERNATIONAL PRESENTED BY SUNCORP


January 5, 2015


Daria Gavrilova


BRISBANE, QUEENSLAND

D. GAVRILOVA/A. Riske
7‑5, 6‑3


THE MODERATOR:  Questions, please.

Q.  Makes all qualifying worthwhile when you get through the first round.
DARIA GAVRILOVA:  Yeah, it's been good.  I've had few tough matches.  I think the qualifiers get an advantage because they have few matches under their belts.
I think I played pretty well today.  It's been a good week so far.

Q.  Bit of a test for you concentration‑wise because you had the rain stoppages?
DARIA GAVRILOVA:  Yeah.  It feels like a really long match even though ‑‑ I don't know how long was the actual match, but you still have to be focused and to do all the warmups.  You know, you can't get distracted; you can't talk to the people.
So it's pretty hard, but...

Q.  Wildcard playoff win and now first round in a WTA tournament.  What's the rest of the year or the rest of the season looking like for you?
DARIA GAVRILOVA:  Well, obviously it's a great start to the year.  I'm just not sure about my schedule yet.  Because of my ranking it's just everything is unconfirmed.

Q.  You see a really massive opportunity to make inroads with your ranking knowing you didn't play much at the start of the last year?
DARIA GAVRILOVA:  Sorry?

Q.  Do you feel like there is a chance to make a lot of rankings inroads knowing you didn't play much at the start of last year?
DARIA GAVRILOVA:  Yeah.  Obviously I'm looking forward to my ranking going up.  I just have to keep doing what I'm doing, and I think I've beenexecuting and doing everything right.  We've been working with Pratty on a lot of things, and I've been he showing it on court.

Q.  Where would you like to make your improvements in your game?
DARIA GAVRILOVA:  I think I still can obviously work on a lot of things.  I can get my serve better still; I can get my forehand better; everything can get better.
But the main thing is for me to stay aggressive and to look forward and coming into the net.
