It was definitely humid. Last week I was in Florida where it`s 10 times more humid, so I`m fine with it.
I think I`ve been playing more steadily this year, ... Last year, I would have a good week, then a bad one, but I think this year, I`ve improved my consistency. I know there is a lot to improve, but I`m happy with my progress so far.
Sure, I have a little confidence after winning two titles, but everything is new here. It is new balls, a new court and different temperatures. It`s very different than Seoul and Tokyo. It was a slow start, but then I got more comfortable in the second set and was able to get the win.
It feels good, ... I don`t think it could get any better than this. I was pretty consistent today, and I`m happy with the way I played overall. I think I challenged her today and showed that I could beat a higher ranked player when I`m on my game. My game has improved and I`m happy, but I`m still going to keep working hard on everything overall.
I didn`t mean to hit it that way. I was upset and I was dumb.
I was excited, but nervous too,
I thought it was a good match, ... I hope that I would have won anyway, and I think I could have closed it out, but those are just `maybes.` I thought she was moving really well and got to a lot of balls. I hope that we`ll meet again in a final.
I thought my rhythm was off today, and I didn`t feel so good out there. After I was 4-3 down (first set), I tried to stay calm and get focused. I was able to get through the match, but I definitely need to improve my game.

I don`t feel good about today`s match, ... I didn`t play well at all. I have to improve to achieve something here.
