MONTREAL, QUEBEC
C. WOZNIACKI/A. Wozniak
6‑4, 6‑4
THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.
Q. She said that it only felt like your arm was warmed up for that because it didn't seem like you played two‑and‑a‑half hours. Is that what you felt?
CAROLINE WOZNIACKI: I have to say I felt pretty fresh out there. When I went out on the court, I did everything to recover. You know, I didn't feel like I played my best game in my first match, but, you know, tonight I was playing really well and I was really pleased about the way the match went on.
You know, Aleks is playing very well, as well. I was pleased, especially in front of the home crowd, as well. It's difficult. I was very pleased to get through this one.
Q. Your matchup for the semifinal, it gives you a chance to move on to the final. It's been a while since we have had someone here in Montreal win back‑to‑back years in Montreal. Your thoughts on that and what stands in your path.
CAROLINE WOZNIACKI: First of all, I just need a really good night of sleep tonight. You know, my legs feel quite tired. But, you know, I have quite a few hours to get ready.
Petra has been playing really well, as well, winning comfortably. It's not going to be easy. I still have that match to overcome before I even think about the finals.
Q. You have had so many matches with Aleksandra. I think this was the ninth. Won eight of them and the other one you retired. What is it you've got going against her to win that?
CAROLINE WOZNIACKI: I actually think there was one year we played each other in every tournament. I think it was, if I remember right, it was like six or seven times in one year. I was like, Is this really... I mean...
Yeah, I don't know.  I mean, it's always tough matches. What I remember, we had some tough three‑set battles. We have had two tough sets. It's never been easy.
I don't know. I just got there, and I fight and that's all I can do.
Q. You ended up putting a patch or bandage of some sort on your upper shin or lower knee, whatever. What was bothering you? Is winning the cure?
CAROLINE WOZNIACKI: You know, I started feeling a little bit of things in my knee, and I put the tape on it and it felt much better.
So, you know, I was thinking in my second match just to keep it on, or put a new one on because I took a shower, obviously.
Yeah, it helped me, so I didn't feel it at all when I was out there.
