A. MAURESMO/M. Kirilenko 4-6, 6-4, 6-1
An interview with: AMELIE MAURESMO
THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.
Q. It looked like it took you a little while to get comfortable out there.
AMELIE MAURESMO: Yeah, yeah, a set and a half to really...
Q. Was that you or her?
AMELIE MAURESMO: Was a little bit of both, I think. You know, she played
really well, that first set especially. You know, I was--I thought I was
giving her too many free points and I wasn't really into my rhythm. You
know, it took me a little time today, and I finally got my game together,
put that ball back in, you know, a lot of variation as well. Was able to,
you know, come back pretty strong in that second set, and then I think she
got probably tired a little bit in the third set.
Tough one.
Q. How much was the heat a factor?
AMELIE MAURESMO: Maybe at the end of the match, you know, I was physically
a little stronger so that, you know, I was capable of coming back on court
after the break and really being able to give 100%. Maybe it wasn't really
the case for her. And especially when you lose a second set, then, yeah, I
guess it's tougher also mentally to come back and play strong.
Q. What does a match like that do for the rest of the week?
AMELIE MAURESMO: I think it's pretty good, actually, to come out of a match
like that the beginning of a tournament. You know, it gives you, I think, a
little confidence back after the disappointment of last week.
So, yeah, hopefully, you know, if I'm capable of really having a good
recuperation, I guess I'm going to play tomorrow again, so I hope that
it's going to be good.
Q. I had one question about Miss Golovin, a countrywoman. What do you think
of her potential?
AMELIE MAURESMO: Well, you know, she's proved already a lot of things I think
on the court. She's been playing pretty well last season, you know. She's
hitting the ball hard. You know, she's a tough player. I think mentally she's
pretty strong also. Still may be sometimes, you know, like when we say
"junior," is like maybe she has to be on the right points more focused, focus
on these points. But, you know, she's only like 17, I think. She's going to
improve a lot. I think she has a lot of potential.
