Jennifer Capriati

Q. Jennifer, how did this compare with your first round match? Especially, the first set?

JENNIFER CAPRIATI: Well, I didn't dig myself in a hole today. And I thought it went all right. I played well sometimes and then -- the whole match I kind of felt a little unfocused; not really playing with a rhythm. So I thought it was an all-right match, I mean, the way I played.

Q. The way the crowd came in late because of the lateness of the Lendl match, did that bother you? The crowd was coming in so late.

JENNIFER CAPRIATI: No. I mean, it is -- no.

Q. You lost a service break at the end, I think, or near the end. Were you getting tired, or was she just getting stronger?

JENNIFER CAPRIATI: No, I wasn't getting tired. It just was just hard for me to close that match out. I think I just lost concentration there, and kind of played a little -- a couple of easy shots. It wasn't because I was tired, it was because I wasn't really that focused.

Q. Are you going to stick around to watch J. C.?

JENNIFER CAPRIATI: I don't know. Probably. I will probably watch him in the lounge. I wouldn't come out.

Q. Thank you.
