Q. When you issued that challenge when you
held at match point, did you think in your
heart that you were going to get that one
right? Were you convinced that you had made
a proper challenge?
ALIZÉ CORNET: Well, if I didn't try on this
one I never try, because it was a match point.
The ball was really close. I made a beautiful
forehand and I just tried, you know, because
I was pretty sure it was like one or two
centimeters maximum out.
I was thinking, Okay, let's try on this one.
I was not so wrong. It was the match point
and I really wish it was in.
Q. It had to be a wrenching defeat. How difficult
was that to accept that you had lost?
ALIZÉ CORNET: Well, I don't look so sad, because
this match is done since a few hours. I played a
mixed doubles just after my match, so it was
maybe a bit easily to forget the lose.
But, of course, it's really a tough, tough lose.
I mean, I think I'm going to think about it for
a long time.
I really tried my best, so I have nothing to
regret. The match point was really two big
rallies, and she was really, really strong
on these two rallies.
Yeah, I was really close of this quarterfinal.
What can I say? Now it's too late. I have to
think about the future and about my next
tournament now.
Q. Can you explain how you turned the match
around in that second set?
ALIZÉ CORNET: Yeah, she really made a great
start of the match. She played really, really
good at the beginning. I was a bit impressed
of the court and of the point -- that I was
at the fourth round, so I didn't play so good
at the beginning.
Then, like usually, I just keep fighting. Then
she really made much more mistake and she just
let me come back in the match. Then I was really
more motivated.
Until 5-2 in the third set, I really believed
in my chance. But, well, it's like this. I mean,
each time I play against her it's better and
better for me. Next time I hope I can beat her.
I cannot be more close than this one. Next time
if I play against her in Dubai I'm going to win.
I have to be positive.
