Of course, it's a surprise, but Kim has not played in a while, and it's hard to come back and play your best tennis. I just knew I had to worry about my match.

New York hasn't ever seen the best of me.

Overall I'm happy to get through the match, but it definitely wasn't the best match I played,

I love to look elegant and this dress is very light and cool, ... The best thing about tennis is that you can wear cute little dresses and express your individuality.

I'll be seeing headlines: Maria can't get past the semis; Maria can't last the third set, I think it was a good match. I didn't come in the best prepared ... without many matches, to be able to play the quality of tennis I was able to play today is a big plus.

What I do best is compete. This is just something I do for fun.
