Patty Schnyder Quotes

I can feel it happening. I (could) tell after I lost in the French Open to Mary Pierce. She had an unbelievable run and I played close. But close is not good enough for me. I want to get to a final.

My serve was on. She struggled a bit with her reach, but I am happy with the way I played.

I think just generally, my footwork was really not good and it was uncomfortable to move around the court.

I know that she does it and that`s her way. I was not too much asking the umpire to speed things up because I know it`s her way, but still, I think on the serve, you should go with the pace of the server.

In the end, it comes down to a few big points. If you make them, you win.

When I`m ready, I would like to start serving. I know she does it and it`s her way, but I think on the serve, you should go with the pace of the server. She needs the time, I guess. I don`t think it`s really to break my rhythm or something, it`s just that she needs it.

She puts huge pressure on me. She is so present on the court. She really forces you back. It`s tough to get the rallies going and move her around.

When I?m ready, I would like to start serving. I know she does it and it?s her way, but I think on the serve, you should go with the pace of the server. She needs the time, I guess. I don?t think it?s really to break my rhythm or something, it?s just that she needs it.

I felt like I had her there. Of course, if you come back from five match points, no way you are going to lose.
