NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK
V. AZARENKA/D. Pfizenmaier
6‑0, 6‑0
THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.
Q. That was quite an easy‑looking score, but a lot of games were tight.
VICTORIA AZARENKA: Well, I'm proud of the commitment that I've done in those games. You know, as you said, there were a lot of close games, a lot of advantage. I was few games down 40‑Love. So for me was important to kind of stay in that moment even though I made couple of unforced errors, just to raise the level when I needed to.
That's what happened. But there are things, you know, I feel like should be better. But overall it's a good start. I couldn't wait to go out there and play because was a long kind of wait for me.
You know, the first match is out of my way. Now I can focus on the next one and tomorrow to work a little bit on my game and come back for the next round.
Q. Any flashback entering Arthur Ashe from last year?
VICTORIA AZARENKA: No, not really flashback from last year. But overall that great feeling that you feel to go out there. I couldn't wait. I was warming up, all pumped up. You know, night session is always special in New York. Just playing in New York is always special for me.
So definitely excited. I was a little bit anxious actually, couldn't wait to go out there.
Q. Difficult to assess your play after an easy match like this?
VICTORIA AZARENKA: Not for me. I always find things that I want to do better.
Q. Anything you wanted to do better in this match?
VICTORIA AZARENKA: Everything. You know, I think my game should be a little bit sharper. You know, a few mistakes there and there. The execution should be a little bit more the way I want it, you know, direct the game a little bit better.
But it's a good start. Definitely a good start. Mentally, you know, it was important to stay tough, to stay focused. That's most important. The game is there; just need to shape it up a little bit.
Q. Wozniak next round.
VICTORIA AZARENKA: I haven't played her in a while. She's a great player. She had a lot of big wins before. We know each other so well since juniors. Not too many surprises out there. But, you know, I know what she's capable of. I have to try to be better than I was today for me personally and really execute my game.
