THE LIPTON CHAMPIONSHIPS


March 21, 1997


Naoko Sawanatsu


KEY BISCAYNE, FLORIDA

DEBBI EDWARDS: Questions for Naoko.

Q. How did you think she was playing after another long layoff for her?

NAOKO SAWAMATSU: I knew that she had a injury for her shoulder. I mean, I was worried about herself and everything. Before the match I tried to think about, you know, just play my tennis. I mean, I was really worried about her shoulder. If I think about that, it's very difficult to play, so I just try to concentrate.

Q. You did so well to get back and take that second set.

NAOKO SAWAMATSU: Uh-huh.

Q. What then swung it back the other way, do you think?

NAOKO SAWAMATSU: You know, today was very windy. It was very difficult to concentrate. In the beginning of the first set, I think she concentrated very well. But after she took the first set, you know, I was getting -- I start to move well. I was just playing worse. I mean, nothing changed, but I think I was just playing worse in the second set.

DEBBI EDWARDS: Thank you.
