U.S. OPENAugust 28, 2013Na LiNEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK N. LI/S. Arvidsson THE MODERATOR: Questions, please. Q. Good performance out there today. Are you happy with the way you played? NA LI: Absolutely. Of course. I mean, yeah, because last time I played her was like very tough second set. So, I mean, after win looks like easy match, but is not really easy. Yeah, I was like today I was improve a little bit serve and come to the net. Also serve/volley, as well. Q. We don't have a crystal ball yet, but you may be seeing Laura in the next match. NA LI: Yeah. Q. She's obviously your last match last year. NA LI: Yeah. Q. Possible matchup with Laura, your thoughts? NA LI: After last year I think both player improve a lot. I really looking forward to play against her. For sure really challenging, lefty, aggressive player. Also, I can see prove myself like after one year whether I can do better than last year. Q. How satisfied are you with the way you're playing right now? NA LI: Oh, how happy? Was pretty happy, because, I mean, at least I do what I have the plan before. I follow the plan, game plan, what I should do on the court. Yeah. Q. How difficult is it to start working with a new coach? What does he have to do? What do you have to do to adjust to each other so that it's a good working relationship? And how long did it take for you and Carlos? NA LI: I mean, I was feeling pretty ‑how you say ‑ pretty good working with him. Of course first one or two months we have to ‑‑he didn't talk too much, because he have to see what I'm doing. After, I think especially in the winter training, you know, we talk a lot. I don't know. Not every day, but every second day we talk a lot to know each other pretty much. Q. Is that the most important thing, to know each other, or the technical things he can help you with? NA LI: I mean, everyone is different. Q. For you. NA LI: For me, I was feeling pretty happy the way he's like now we are communication. Q. Is it funny that men and women both at a certain age still need coaches. What do you need a coach to help you do? NA LI: I was feeling coach for me not only is about tennis coaching. He teach me a lot like off of the court, as well. So, yeah, is not only about what I should do on the court. You know, he tell me a lot experience about especially in press conference (smiling). Communication with friend, with family, you know, so many things. Q. Could you ever imagine not having a coach and being out here? NA LI: If I have to have coach, I have my husband. Is the same. Q. With the rain, you just beat the rain, so I'm sure you're happy about that. Not all players are in the same situation; some are playing their first‑round match today or tonight. What do you think about the scheduling here? NA LI: Actually, I was a little bit happy, you know, because at least I'm done for my job today. Yeah, when was colder out, I was so lucky before the rain come that I was I finish the match so I don't have to wait and warming up and coming to the court again. Q. But what about everyone else? NA LI: Is tough for them. You know, for me, just relax the day and just do whatever I want to do (smiling). FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports |
