Patty
Schnyder beat Daniela Hantuchova 6-4 4-6 7-6
Q. You had to
fight really hard in the end. How does it feel? Can you
talk about that lob you hit at 5-3. A really huge shot.
PATTY
SCHNYDER: Yeah, I mean, I think we had a funny match
today. We had some games we didn't play at all. Some we
served good and we hit some great winners. It was a
strange match. Also in that tiebreak, she hit three lines
unbelievable, and then me with a little bit of frame, that
lob. Yeah, it's just -- I don't know how. Yeah, sometimes
things like this happen and you get exciting matches.
Saving match points and winning after, it's just a great
win for me.
Q. You had a
really good Australian Open. What is it about majors that
seem to bring out some of your better tennis? Do you get
up more for the majors?
PATTY
SCHNYDER: Yeah. I mean, I'm really motivated for the
majors. It's really the highlight of the year. I've been
playing great tennis since last year US Open until April.
I was really playing very good. I won against many Top 10
players. I reached the semis in Australia. So, yeah, I
had a great run. Now it seems to come back. Yeah, I'm
feeling good again. I could use my seeding again and be in
the last 16, so I'm very happy.
Q. What do
you expect from your next round?
PATTY
SCHNYDER: Serena is playing tonight. Yeah, probably she's
going to win. So, yeah, I didn't play her for a long
time, but actually I prefer playing Serena than Venus
because I think Venus' backhand is better than Serena's.
So I try to play my game over her backhand. I hope that
she's not a hundred percent, and just give it my best
shot. |
