Not my best tennis, but it's a win. There were moments where I can say I played well, I hit the ball hard and moved around well but I have a lot to work on for tomorrow. It was good to get out there, get a feel for the court and get the first match under my belt.
Women's tennis is a lot tougher now that it was 10 years ago. So for me to be competing in the top now means I need to be stronger and faster and better than before.
It wasn't my best tennis, but in the end it's a victory. I'll have plenty of things to work on tomorrow.
The hard work is definitely paying off, that's for sure, ... I have said before that last year I wasn't sure if I would play again and after much thought, decided I had more to do in tennis and really this year has just been amazing...This tournament was not on my original schedule for this year, but I saw last month that I might qualify for the WTA Tour Championships, so decided to stay in Europe and play the big events to try to get my points up.
