Amelie Mauresmo

AMELIE MAURESMO: Yeah, well, especially on that matchpoint, you know. Was very good, I think, to finish on this kind of point. But overall, very satisfied about the way I played tonight. Felt very comfortable on the court. And, yeah, I'm happy to be out there and happy to win some good matches.

AMELIE MAURESMO: It would be great, you know. It would be a great achievement. But as I've said from the beginning, you know, I would love it to happen because I made a good thing - a great thing here. So we'll see how it goes on the court.

AMELIE MAURESMO: Yeah.

AMELIE MAURESMO: Just worked pretty hard. You know, on every area of the game, got also a lot of confidence going year after year. Yeah, you know, learned a lot about myself, about the game and, you know, again, the confidence is very important.

AMELIE MAURESMO: Not yet (smiling). No, not yet. No, that doesn't worry me at all. I think I'm feeling confident that it's going to come, you know. That's my feeling.

AMELIE MAURESMO: Well, tactically, you know, I think my game is a little different from what we're used to see on the women's tour, like big hitters. You know, I'm capable of varying a little bit more and come in sometimes, serve and volley. So mix it up a little bit. So I had, I think I needed a little time to know exactly what I had to do at the right times and use it the right way. So I think, I feel that now, you know, I'm using it pretty well in every area of the game. So probably that's what I learned tactically.
