VIRGINIA SLIMS CHAMPIONSHIPS

November 18, 1994

Conchita Martinez

CONCHITA MARTINEZ: Well, I don't know, I mean, I can't find an explanation to lose five match points. I think I probably rushed a little bit and I wanted to finish and I was very excited to do it, and you know, you can't be like that you have to have your head cool and try to, you know, be aggressive and don't wait for the mistake for the other one, you know, make it first.

CONCHITA MARTINEZ: No, I'm not shocked. No, what can I do? I'm disappointed because I had it right there. It was, you know, one more point and I couldn't do it. So, I mean, through the match, I was mad, but at this hour, you have to forget about it. You know, what can you do?

CONCHITA MARTINEZ: I played well. I mean, I fight, I did my best, I probably, you know, if I could play that tiebreaker again, I probably was going to be more concentrated. I don't know, I mean, you know, it went so quick, that I didn't have a chance.

CONCHITA MARTINEZ: What?

CONCHITA MARTINEZ: Like always. I don't think she can play differently. She hits the ball flat and, you know, and it's tough because I was trying to move her with my slice, because she makes a lot of mistakes with it, but, still, you know, I didn't have to do so many mistakes also. It's tough.

CONCHITA MARTINEZ: No, I played pretty well in San Diego, I played good in L.A., you know, and after that, I probably don't play my best tennis indoor course, which I don't like it at all. And it's always tough. You know, probably next year I have to play less indoor tournaments and, you know, but I have to forget about it. I think I had a wonderful year and just forget this match and be ready for next year.
