Mary Pierce: “I’m on the right way”
15 February 2004 - Thibaut FRAIX-BURNET
Admiting Clijster’s superiority, Mary Pierce think that the tournament has
been encouraging for her coming back to the competition.
You started well the match, how can you explain the rest of the match?
I don’t like excuses so I’ll say that Kim was too strong today. I did all
I could and I can only thank Kim for showing me how much I still have to
improve. This week allowed me to see where I am standing. I haven’t played
many matches since a few months and even though I feel superior than some
players, I still have a lot of progress to do to defeat the best players, I
still have to improve.
Though, you’re coming back and playing five matches in five days is not easy?
Of course. But it happens and today, I did all I could.
What do you think of Kim Clijsters on the court?
She’s very strong and solid. She’s different from the other players I
played this week. She plays deep and with a lot of power. That’s the
high-level tennis.
Does this defeat put you down?
No. That’s the first tournament of the year, that’s just the beginning of
the season. If I were told that I would reach the final for my first
tournament… I’m on the right way and I think that I’ve started well this
year. I have to go on working.
You’re going to Antwerp, do you think that you can play one tournament
after another?
I asked for playing on Wednesday. We’ll see but that’s true that I would
like to have a full-day rest.
What do you need to improve in your game?
I think that today I did not serve well. However, my serve was good the rest
of the week. Otherwise I have to be in a better shape and to be more constant
in my game and I have to learn to focus more when I’m tired.
What do think of your coming-back with your coach, Sven Groeneveld?
I’ve improved a lot in all the areas, especially in my physical conditions.
I also play better. I’m very happy about our collaboration.
