STATE FARM EVERT CUPMarch 9, 1998Meike BabelINDIAN WELLS, CALIFORNIA Q. You competed well in the first few games, first four or five games, and then what happened after that? MEIKE BABEL: Well, to be honest, I felt very tired. I had two very tough matches in the last two days. She never gives you any free points. She makes you run all over the court. I just quit being aggressive enough to put some pressure on her. She's just too good to let you go away with it. Q. Did you feel like for a while you could hit her off the court or did you know you were going to tire eventually and that would be it? MEIKE BABEL: Since it's not my game anyway to outhit someone, I just thought to try to keep the ball in play. As the rally continues, get a little more aggressive and try to finish it off at the net. For that, you've got to be real tough. I just wasn't today, I guess. Q. How is it to play a player of Hingis' ability when you know you're tired? Do you go out there thinking, "I have absolutely no chance"? MEIKE BABEL: Well, I mean, the good thing is you go into the match and you know that she doesn't hit you off the court. You know, she's not that hard-hitting. Still, it was a little frustrating to see it slip away from me. I know I began pretty good. That was okay. Overall, it was a good match, even though it was half a bagel in the second. End of FastScripts.... |
