NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK
Q. I wonder if the wind was most difficult on serving, on services tosses or not
necessarily?
LEILA MESKHI: No, it's very difficult to play today. You just play against the wind.
Q. Did you have to do anything differently with your toss today because of that?
LEILA MESKHI: Yeah, because you have to, I don't know, more concentrate, because
usually you just toss and hit a ball. Now you have to --
Q. How much did that take away from your game, the wind?
LEILA MESKHI: It is like 50%.
Q. You have been able to stage some pretty good upsets here in resent years. Why do you
play so well here?
LEILA MESKHI: I don't know. I like it.
Q. What does she do that she is No. 5 or 6 in the world?
LEILA MESKHI: I mean, she is very tough player, but you know, she is usual, like
everybody. Nothing real special, but she is very tough.
Q. How, then, if she is very tough-- she doesn't do anything special; how does she win
matches; how did she win this match?
LEILA MESKHI: Because it was my mistake.
Q. How does she win other matches?
LEILA MESKHI: Because she is tough, I said.
Q. It looks like particularly on her backhand that she kind of disguises where the shot
is going; is that true or can you pretty much read --
LEILA MESKHI: I don't understand.
Q. It looked like on her backhand that she would send the ball--
LEILA MESKHI: To my backhand?
Q. Yeah, to a surprise place sometimes. She sometimes looked like she fooled you?
LEILA MESKHI: Yeah, that is right. She has very good, you know, she put for the hit,
she is like a little bit, you know, stop and then hit a ball. She do it very great.
