Venus Williams: I don't make any changes in my game
Quotes of Venus Williams (after her victory against Ana Ivanovic)

“She (Ivanovic) played very well, she is a good player. I think I also
helped her showing. She had some moments were she was a little bit frustrated
but then I missed some balls and brought her back. I played well but I hadn’
t the consistency I needed to clear the match to 6:1 6:2. Perhaps you think
that this should be not happen to Venus. Such matches are good for me to get
to the tie-break and have some practise.”

“I don’t make any changes in my game. My game is my game and I don’t
change it for anybody. Definitely I analyse my opponents to know the
weaknesses and the strength but I’m an aggressive player and I don’t change
it to play more moon balls or to play more slice in a game. The match against
Sharapova is just another match and it’s nothing special. It would be great
if I would qualify for the Championship but I was so many times there that
this would be normal for me. I think I have good chances to win the
Championship during the next years before I retire. It would be something
special in my career but at the moment it’s not the first thing in my mind.”

“I will never play again if I’m not good prepared or injured or not ready
for it. In the past I did this mistakes and it ruined my game. I told Serena
not to play, if she isn’t ready, but I can’t decide for her. I just told
her what did happen to me as I did and I can’t do anything more.
I think it’s positive if young girls are successful and I think she has a
good chance to be one of the best players. She has a good attitude but I can’
t predict it because there are so many good players today.”

“It’s a good thing that we play here every day but I have to consider to
visit the city I would have to come on vacation.”
