Tatiana Golovin: “A wonderful week”
14 February 2004 - Emmanuel LANGELLIER
Despite her defeat in the semi-final against Mary Pierce, Tatiana Golovin
keeps in mind the nice path she did this week. She has just entered Top 100
and she is ready to go further.
Tatiana, what can you tell us after the final?
I had a wonderful week here. It was the first time I played since Australia
and I did very nice things here so that’s really positive. Mary played very
well. Physically I did not feel good. So, that’s logical that I lost. I wish
her good luck for the final.
Do you think that you haven’t complete your task?
No. As I told you, I was not fine physically. My legs were very heavy, I had
contractions so it was difficult for me to move. I think that everything will
be better as I am getting older; I’m going to be more mature and stronger.
How do you explain that you were stuck like that? Is it due to repeated
efforts you’ve done since the beginning of the year?
Maybe. I think it is also due to the surface which is extremely hard. It had
a lot of shocks in my legs. But I think that everything will be fine. I’ll
be ready for Indian Wells and Miami.
It was your first match against Mary Pierce, how do you analyze her game?
She had a very nice serve. She hits the balls strongly. I had to move well
and to hit back all the balls but it was the case. She is a very aggressive
player and she has the kind of tennis I would like to have.
So, it was a nice experience.
Yes. Like against Dementieva. There are good experiences. I have to learn
something from the matches I play in order to improve.
What do you want to keep in mind from the beginning of the year?
Only nice things. I entered the Top 100 and that something I wanted to do
before the end of the year. I’ve improved a lot. I feel good and I’ll try
to go as far as I can.
Do you like the adult world ?
More and more (Laughs). When you are young, you train and you say to yourself
that it will never happen. But now, I start traveling, being with the best
players, we meet nice people and I like it more and more.
