SYDNEY, NEW SOUTH WALES
B. ZAHLAVOVA STRYCOVA/C. Wozniacki
6‑1, 1‑1 (ret.)
THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.
Q. How did you feel today about the match?
BARBORA ZAHLAVOVA STRYCOVA: Well, we played against each other like three days ago in Auckland, so I know it's going to be a tough match because she's such a great player and very tough to play.
But I went for the match like I did before, and unfortunately didn't finish it how it normally should. It's really sad.
Q. How are you feeling about your form in general right now?
BARBORA ZAHLAVOVA STRYCOVA: I feel pretty well. Having a lot of matches behind my, and it's always good to have it because it's the beginning of the season going for Melbourne, it's good to play many matches.
I feel fine.
Q. Goals for this year?
BARBORA ZAHLAVOVA STRYCOVA: I have some, but I won't tell you.
Q. Is that a superstition thing?
BARBORA ZAHLAVOVA STRYCOVA: Yes, I am very superstitious. I have some goals. I have many. But I like to keep them for me.
Q. You said that you're an emotional player on court.
BARBORA ZAHLAVOVA STRYCOVA: Yeah.
Q. How does that help you?
BARBORA ZAHLAVOVA STRYCOVA: Well, being emotional doesn't help so much. You have to know where to limit. The emotions, I have to put them out, but in a way that helps me and it's not against me. I'm trying to work on it with my coaches. I feel I'm getting better.
Q. How do you fell about your next opponent, Sam Stosur?
BARBORA ZAHLAVOVA STRYCOVA: I don't know we played each other. I'm not sure. She's great player obviously and she is home; home crowd behind her.
I will just go there and enjoy myself and try to play as good as I can the day and we see how it goes.
Q. One more thing: Are you keeping track of the other Czech players at this tournament?
BARBORA ZAHLAVOVA STRYCOVA: Yes, I do.
Q. They're doing very well right now. I'm always curious to ask Czech tennis, what do you think makes Czech people so good at tennis?
BARBORA ZAHLAVOVA STRYCOVA: Maybe we have good coaches; maybe we work hard. The school in Czech, from the beginning, when we were young, we hit a lot of balls and a lot of patterns.
I don't know why. We have good talent. More women than I think men's right now, but it's good for such a small country like Czech. I am happy that we are doing well.
Q. There is a new WTA tournament in Prague. Are you excited to go?
BARBORA ZAHLAVOVA STRYCOVA: I'm very excited. We already had one before, but it's going to be a different place. I'm always happy to play at home because it's always nice. It's like 30 minutes from my hometown so I don't have to stay in a hotel. I'm really looking forward to be there.
