Venus Williams: "I do not count, I just play"
Venus Williams after the victory against Alona Bondarenko (6:3, 6:4).


"She (Bondarenko) always plays well in tournaments, she played some good
points and I was happy to get another win!"

"I played ok, the points became more important. My serve is always good, but
of course I want to improve my level with every round."

"Today I was trying a lot more coming to the net on different kinds of shots
to get more experience with that."

"The speed of the court is ok, no complains."

"It is nice to have a speed meter and I always check it , especially on the
second serve, sometimes it helps."

"I do not count, I just play. I am interested in playing the Championship, but
I am not interested in entering more tournaments. This is my last , so I do
my best here, and what happens, happens."

"I remember 1999 (her win in Zurich/Kloten) was a great week of tennis for me."
