FAMILY CIRCLE CUPApril 1, 1995Silvia Farina EliaHILTON HEAD ISLAND, SOUTH CAROLINA AMY CONLEY: Start with questions. Q. Looked like you were getting -- after the first set you were getting back in the match and then you got up in the -- you know, the tiebreaker and then what happened? SILVIA FARINA: I mean, in the beginning I think both of us were, you know, nervous, we miss a lot easy ball and then I think Maggie play very, very smart. I mean, she played very deep and then she -- when the ball came back she came in the court to make pressure and, but I had a good shots. I start to change a lot my game to use the drop shot, to play specially to her forehand. And I was feeling better but in the tiebreaker. I think that it was very close match in the second set. Q. Did you start thinking about the score a little too much when you were up so far ahead in the tiebreak? SILVIA FARINA: No, not really. I think when I -- when I change the court it was 5-1, I didn't play very deep and she came in, you know. And I had a bad luck in the forehand shot, so it's -- I don't know, it's just two points, nothing. Q. When did you start using the drop shot, at about the middle of the first set? SILVIA FARINA: I start at first set but I didn't feel very well so I didn't use at all. Then I try again the second set because it was 3-1 -- I mean, I had nothing to lose at that point so I was -- I try and I was getting better. Q. Seemed like the crowd was starting to pull for you. SILVIA FARINA: Yeah, it was a good support. Q. What do you think getting this far and doing this well in this tournament will do for your career? SILVIA FARINA: Oh, it's a good step. I mean for me it's never happened, I think I can compare with a good player, so I'm thinking that I can be good player, you know. So it's very important. Q. Does a lot for your confidence? SILVIA FARINA: Yeah, for sure. Q. How high do you think you can go in the rankings? SILVIA FARINA: I never count. I didn't count, I don't know. Let's see next week. AMY CONLEY: We'll be able to get that information for you also. Q. You said you tried to go more and more to her forehand. What was the reasoning behind that? SILVIA FARINA: The forehand? Q. Uh-huh. SILVIA FARINA: I think she's a better backhand. She move a lot with the backhand, she can play deep, long, everything, and I knew that the forehand was -- I mean, the worst shot -- I mean not the worst but compared to the backhand, so I -- you know, I'd say okay, let's try this way and I think it's worked. Q. How confident were you before the match? Did you come into the match thinking you could beat her? SILVIA FARINA: Yeah, I was in confidence. I think I'm in shape now, but I was a little bit nervous in the beginning. I was -- I missed -- I mean, ball that usually I don't miss so it was -- you know, it's difficult start one set down, but not with the confidence. You know, it's like to have two steps. Q. You had a chance to come back in the first set and then 4-1 and then you had a chance to tie it up in your serve and not a very good game for you on your serve, and then you lost it at Love. SILVIA FARINA: Yeah. Anyway, bad luck. AMY CONLEY: Any other questions? All right. Thank you. End of FastScripts... |
