Gabriela Sabatini

GABRIELA SABATINI: Well, we've been working on a lot of things.

GABRIELA SABATINI: Yeah, we've been working since last year on my serve. And on all my ground strokes, tried to be a little more aggressive. And we didn't change anything, really, really big, just very small details. And it has made a change. I guess the fact that I've been trying to work it out sometimes with small things, you need to adjust a little bit. And in the tournaments I started to really do what we've been working on and it has been improving a lot. I feel like each week I was getting a little bit better. And today I'm pretty happy with my serve.

GABRIELA SABATINI: I don't know, the city, the atmosphere. I really like New York. And I guess that has a lot to do, and that really makes me feel motivated and have a lot of energy. I had always some great results during the U.S. Open Championships. And I guess I'll have to play, I hope every time in New York.

GABRIELA SABATINI: I'm not really thinking about that. That's not how I -- I'm taking it, you know, another year, another tournament. If I have to go into my -- compare my game with how it was last year, it was better today. Last year I was coming into the tournament, not having results, not playing good tennis, not feeling good with my game. And today that's sort of different. I feel very good with my game today.

GABRIELA SABATINI: Yeah, I'm really looking forward to a vacation. It was a long year, I guess, because I had to play the Fed Cup two times. And so I feel like I didn't have any time off really this year. So I'm really looking forward to that. And I guess just go home and be with my family and my friends and just enjoy my home.

GABRIELA SABATINI: I don't know, I guess she doesn't like the change of rhythms. Today most of the players like to hit the ball very hard, and that's who you usually play against. And that's something that is good about myself. I can mix the game a lot. I can do a lot of different things and I don't think she likes that.

GABRIELA SABATINI: I thought it was about time. I haven't played the Fed Cup for a few years. And I feel like I really needed to play for -- in a team, I guess. It's a really nice experience to be in a team with other players. And also next year we're going to play the Olympics, and I wanted to be there, too.
