AUSTRALIAN OPENJanuary 21, 2014Flavia PennettaMELBOURNE, VICTORIA N. LI/F. Pennetta THE MODERATOR: Questions, please. Q. What do you think about Li Na's performance today? FLAVIA PENNETTA: It was perfect for her. She play really well. Since the first ball, I think she play really well today. Q. You and Li Na are the two 30‑year‑old women. What keeps you playing at such a high level? FLAVIA PENNETTA: I think we still working in a good way. We try to have a good team with us. They can help us in every moment. Is good to see older player, no, in the court and fighting. Today I think she was perfect in everything. I mean, I didn't have a lot of chance at all. I just have to say to her congratulation. Q. Do you feel like Li Na is more focused on the court than previous matches you play with her a couple years ago? FLAVIA PENNETTA: No, I think she's just improve her game a lot. She's really consistent. But she's one of the best player. Today she was much better than me in the court. In the last year she improve a lot her game. She's more, I think, consistent with the forehand. And her serve, it's working really good also. She's a really good player. Q. As the match went on, what were you trying to do to get yourself back into it tactically? FLAVIA PENNETTA: Was really tough today because I didn't serve really well. My serve doesn't work in the way I would like to. But, I mean, I think she make no mistake at all. In the first five games, maybe one or two, and a lot of winners. I was trying to pushing, but she was faster and stronger than me today, so... I try my best, but she was too good. Q. Of the women players on the tour, when she is playing like that, when she's hot... FLAVIA PENNETTA: ...she is tough. Q. Up there with Serena and some of the other big hitters? FLAVIA PENNETTA: Of course. She's No.5 or 4 in the world. She's a Grand Slam champion. That's what we're talking about. Q. How do you sum up this tournament for you personally? FLAVIA PENNETTA: Was good. I mean, I am happy about this tournament. Was a really good tournament. I play a few matches in a good way. I enjoy to play here in Australia. I have to be happy. Of course, now I'm a little bit upset because I would like to play a little bit better today. But next week I have another tournament and everything start again.
