Amanda Coetzer

AMANDA COETZER: No, I played a lot of topspin, that is my normal game. I didn't really use extra spin.

AMANDA COETZER: It was an important match and just competed very well on every point. I expected her to run down a lot of balls and I was just trying to play very consistent, but also aggressive.

AMANDA COETZER: I think they are all good competitors and they all have pretty good groundstrokes and, yeah, they are all coming -- they are all doing very well, I think, Date, Shawamatsu....

AMANDA COETZER: I think just the same things, I will try and be consistent, but also aggressive and put some pressure on Graf.

AMANDA COETZER: I played her earlier this year in Indian Wells.

AMANDA COETZER: No. I wouldn't say I am trying -- I think things are just coming together a lot more this year. I am getting a lot more confidence on what I worked on the year before, so it is just coming together, I think.

AMANDA COETZER: I think the younger girls, definitely, and the game is becoming a lot faster than it used to be, but I think it is-- kind of, can't swing itself out because people are learning to handle it a lot more than maybe they did two years, two, three years ago.

AMANDA COETZER: In my game in the faster -- you mean in that context?

AMANDA COETZER: I think it is just my strokes are becoming maybe a little bit more compact than it used to be before and I am trying to play on faster surfaces a little bit more just to get used to that kind of pace and just trying to come into the net a little bit more.
