Patty
Schnyder lost to Nathalie Dechy 7-5 1-6 5-7
Q. How did
you find the heat out there? Did that have a major effect
on the match?
PATTY
SCHNYDER: Yeah, I think it has on everybody. But it's for
everyone the same. Yeah, I was ‑‑ of course I was tired at
the end, but I was not close to like, yeah, cramping or
just tired. I could not really move anymore, really fast
anymore. So that's ‑‑ I could, yeah. So that's why I could
not go for the shots, because I didn't see it early enough
and I couldn't really move fast to the ball.
Q. Didn't help because there was a
lot of long points and long games as well?
PATTY
SCHNYDER: Yeah. That was okay. But like I said, I could
not go fast anymore.
Q. Were you disappointed? You had a
lot of breakpoint opportunities.
PATTY
SCHNYDER: Yeah, yeah. I think it was a very lucky win for
her. I think I should have won the first match easier, but
she saved them. So, yeah, that's the way it was today. I
was lucky two days ago, and now she was lucky.
Q. So you're disappointed that this
was an opportunity you failed to make?
PATTY
SCHNYDER: Yeah, of course. I mean, I don't know, I made
about the fifth set point in the first and I missed I
think another five breakpoints for sure. So, yeah. I was
on top of her but still it was only 7‑5.
Also in the
third, I had ‑‑ I wasn't winning my serve easily until the
end. She struggled more than me. So just the way sometimes
it's not working out.
Q. Were you disappointed it
happened to be playing on Margaret Court arena?
PATTY
SCHNYDER: Yeah, of course. I would love to play in Rod
Laver. Getting really like many spectators for a
quarterfinal. But that's just the way it is here. Yeah,
you have to be in the semis to be on Rod Laver again.
Q. You had a lot of supporters out
there. Did the lack of atmosphere make it more difficult
to really get up into the match?
PATTY
SCHNYDER: Yeah, I mean, that's why we are playing tennis
for, to have the great experience on centre court, to
really get people into the matches. Of course, I wish to
have many more matches on big centre courts, of course. |
