SARA ERRANI: Of course to win a Grand Slam, you have to pass through to arrive on quarter and semis. It's good. I don't feel ‑‑I don't know. Maybe I can. I don't know. I just like to play match by match, and let's see. I don't like to think I will won. I like to live like day by day and play all the matches. To arrive there, you have to win many matches. You have to be very good. I've made a final this year, a semifinal, a quarter. I'm near, but of course to win a Grand Slam you have to be very good. Q. Is there a big difference in your preparation for singles versus preparing for doubles matches? SARA ERRANI: No, of course I don't have time to ‑‑I just prepare for singles, and of course after you play, you play doubles. Me and Vinci, we try to speak more than prepare on the court. We try to speak to find the solution and to play better and better playing matches, not on practice. Q. Speaking of Vinci, could you tell me about your friendship, relationship with her? Do you think that's one of the reasons that you two do so well on the doubles court? SARA ERRANI: Yes, of course. We know each other very well from many years. We are playing, I don't know, three or four years together, and I think we play very good also because we know each other. In the court, we know how to help the other, and we know how to ‑‑ to help the other. Of course we are playing also very good on singles both. So we're playing, two good players, we are good together. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports |
