AUSTRALIAN OPENJanuary 20, 2001Amelie MauresmoMELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, A. MAURESMO/I. Majoli 6-4, 6-2 THE MODERATOR: First question for Amelie, please. Q. How did you find conditions out there on the court? AMELIE MAURESEMO: Very tough. I mean it was very windy, it was going around a little bit so it's very tough to find a rhythm and to play a consistent game. Q. Do you think that the win would be easier if there wouldn't be no wind today? AMELIE MAURESEMO: I don't know. I mean it's very special when you play when it's windy. I mean, I can't say it would have been easier or harder or whatever. It's just I had to win today with these conditions and that's what I did. Q. How did you find Iva playing today? AMELIE MAURESEMO: Again, it's tough. I think we didn't have a very good match. We did what, you know, what we could do. I think she's probably coming back into the game very well, and I will have to see in the normal conditions I would say. Q. How is your back? AMELIE MAURESEMO: It's good. Yeah, yeah. Q. No problem at all? AMELIE MAURESEMO: No, no. Q. You had a problem last week, I think? AMELIE MAURESEMO: Yes. Q. What was that? AMELIE MAURESEMO: Oh, it was just something that happened to me last year that kept me out of the circuit for a few months. Q. Did you have surgery last year? AMELIE MAURESEMO: No, no. It was just a little problem I have sometimes on the serve, but now I mean this week it's okay and I hope it's gonna last. Q. It looks like you probably will play Venus Williams? AMELIE MAURESEMO: Yeah, I think she's playing now, yeah. Q. When was the last time you played her? AMELIE MAURESEMO: It was here three years ago I think. I haven't played her since then, but it will be an interesting match. Q. She's developed a lot since then. AMELIE MAURESEMO: Yeah, me too. (Laughter.) Q. Last week at the adidas when you had to withdraw you came on the day regardless and had a quick chat to the audience. Was that your idea? AMELIE MAURESEMO: It was the tournament director's idea. He asked me if I could, because I wasn't playing, so if I could just say a few words. So that's what I did. Q. Do you think as a public relations gesture that was a success, showing up? AMELIE MAURESEMO: I hope. Yeah, I hope people liked it. I don't know. End of FastScripts.... |
