Arantxa Sanchez Vicario

MODERATOR: Good evening. Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario.

ARANTXA SANCHEZ-VICARIO: Well, I try not to think about that. Definitely was, you know, very close. I have to fight back really hard. She was playing very well. I make a lot of errors, too, but she was hitting very good winners. Definitely I try not to get disappointed. I almost get to the point of losing when she had, you know, a couple match points. I just think that when I was down, I probably get much more focused, play great shots when I need to. After winning the second set, that give me confidence to keep going to the third one and finally win it. But, yeah, it was tough match.

ARANTXA SANCHEZ-VICARIO: Well, it's kind of like a typical match. We play so many times in our careers. Today's match helped me a lot because, I mean, against Monica is going to be also similar rallies. I look forward to play her. I have nothing to lose. I have confidence. But I have to start well, you know, since the beginning with her, otherwise she doesn't give you many chances. I probably need to serve a little better than I did than like today, especially at the end of the third set, I started serving a little better. With Monica, I will also need to be more aggressive. It can go either way.
