US Open 2007 Semi-Final Interview

 

Anna lost to Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-3 1-6 1-6

Q. Where do you think the match got away from you?

ANNA CHAKVETADZE: I just played horrible. I mean, I didn't expect it will be such a turnaround after this first set. You know, just couldn't put the ball in the court. It's very disappointing match for me. I mean, I didn't know what did I do, you know. It was very tough condition because it was very windy. I just couldn't handle with that wind.  But I'm very disappointed the way I played today. I mean, I didn't want to, you know, just win in straight sets or something like that, but at least play at least maybe more than 50% that I can. But that didn't happen.

Q. Can you point to any reason why that didn't happen?
ANNA CHAKVETADZE: Well, if I would know why it happened, I would just play better. But it didn't happen, so I don't know why.

Q. When you took that ten-minute break between the second and third set, where you able to regroup a little bit?
ANNA CHAKVETADZE: It didn't help, as you saw.
