THE LIPTON CHAMPIONSHIPS

March 26, 1996

Anke Huber

ANKE HUBER: I played her I think the fourth time. I lost twice also very easy, but she also played pretty good. Today I think was the best she ever played against me. I didn't have a chance to find my rhythm, my own rhythm. It was just very difficult. She was against the wind, with the wind, she was just hitting the ball. Everything was going in. It was just very difficult to play. She put too much pressure on me already from the first ball. Missed her service returns. I just couldn't find the rhythm. I'm sure I could have played better, just nothing much to do.

ANKE HUBER: Well, the game was sometimes good, topspin high balls, just change the rhythm. If somebody is playing like this, hitting the ball so hard, that much in front of the line, it's very difficult to do something. I was always behind. I couldn't do anything. It was very difficult for me. I'm not a slice specialist or going to the net or something like this, so it was just very difficult.

ANKE HUBER: I think I have to, yes. There's no other way.

ANKE HUBER: She had already a good chance at Indian Wells to beat Steffi. I think if she is playing well, she has again a very good chance. It's always difficult to beat a No. 1, so we will see.

ANKE HUBER: I go home.

ANKE HUBER: Fed Cup, yes.

ANKE HUBER: Yes.

ANKE HUBER: I guess so, yes. I cannot remember. Seems so, I think. I didn't even lose last year that badly.
