 Anna
beat Na Li 6-4 6-2
Q: Can you call this victory the most important this
year?
A: Can’t say that it is the most important, but it’s the best. I
have not beat anybody top 20 this year.
Q: Was it an easy
match for you? Don’t you think that Li burnt out?
A: Yes, I think she didn’t show her best tennis, and that really helped
me.
Q: How can you
comment why the beginning of the tournament was so unsuccessful?
A: It is tough to say. It’s the end of the year, players are tired. It
is not so easy to maintain the high level of tennis .There is always the
slump at the end of the year, even top players lose.
Q: Did it help
you playing doubles yesterday? Did you get the chance to get used to the
court?
A: I like to play doubles. 2 years ago, I stopped playing doubles and
lost my position. I would like to start again. Unfortunately I can’t use
my rankings to enter the main draw. So I have to choose the partner with
higher ranking, not with those whom I prefer. I hope to improve my
ranking.
Q: Kalevod mentioned that something new appeared in your
technique. Is that true?
A: Yes, my new coach works on my serve. I had problems with my serve
today. It is rather tough to change the serve technique and to implement
it in the match. Serve is not my strong point. I agree with the coach
that I have to change something. But I can’t always put it into practice
during the match.
Q: Can you tell us about your new coach? What were you talking about
today on the court?
A: Coach can’t teach you to play tennis, that is more of psychological
support. He points out strategic thinks, it is not possible to get tips
about tactic in half a minute. He can turn up and give advice. We
started to work with my coach accidently . He is very positive. He does
not make any dramatic change. I had many coaches before. But
unfortunately they couldn’t find an approach to my game. And they
started to change it a lot. But it wasn’t the way out. And we decided
with my current coach my old game which I used to play and improve it a
little bit. I think I’m on the right way.
Q: As concerns the doubles, who would you like to play with?
A: It’s tough to say. It’s better to play with who you are in good
relations. If you have such strain relationship, it would be tough to
play. |
