MUTUA MADRID OPENMay 5, 2013Serena WilliamsMADRID, SPAIN S. WILLIAMS/Y. Putintseva THE MODERATOR: Questions, please. Q. Congratulations. Are you happy with your performance today? SERENA WILLIAMS: I felt a little sluggish out there, but I'm happy I was able to win the match. Honestly, I obviously have to and want to play better as each match goes on. Q. How long have you been here in Europe training for the clay court season? SERENA WILLIAMS: I've been here a little over a week; maybe a week and a half. Not super long, but long enough. Q. Have you just had the opportunity to train here in Madrid or have you been training somewhere else? SERENA WILLIAMS: I was training if Paris for a few days and now I came to Madrid a couple days early. Q. Can you compare the conditions of the clay courts? SERENA WILLIAMS: Yeah, well, I think these clay courts are really good. I think they're a little bit faster than the ones I was practicing on in Paris. For me, that's always a good sign. Conditions, it's a little warmer here‑ a lot warmer here. Overall, I think it's really good. Q. Your opponent today, she's pretty intense out there. You must know her well from the Mouratoglou Academy? SERENA WILLIAMS: Yeah, we train sometimes at the same facility, at Mouratoglou in France. I see her around a lot and I see her working really hard. Q. How has it been, your preparation? Obviously your first clay court season with Patrick. Has your preparation differed? SERENA WILLIAMS: It's a little different. Not much different. Just it's not something that I think would make such a big change. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports |
