Q. Comparing the match you played in Charleston against Venus, how would you
rate this one?
JELENA JANKOVIC: Each match is really different. We played on green clay, and
here you cannot compare it, because this is a Grand Slam. You always have
expectations. You have a little bit more pressure than in the other
tournaments because you want to do well.
But like I said, each time you play the Williams sisters, it's really a tough
game. And you have to be on the top of your level if you want to beat them.
They are the best athletes in the women's game. They are getting the balls
that -- half of the balls I hit today I thought was going to be a winner
against the other girls, and then against Venus, it is not. She gets them,
and she makes a winner back. So this is what is really great about the
Williams sisters.
Q. Do you see an improvement between Charleston and here from Venus? Is
there a difference in the level at which she played?
JELENA JANKOVIC: For example, I really work hard after when I passed my
second round. I worked hard in my practice. I was working on my tactics. I
was working a lot on my return because I saw that she was serving really
well. The key of the match is to return well, to put pressure on her so that
I can get in the point and have a chance to break her. I practiced a lot on
my return, and it helped me. I think she made only one ace today. She was a
little bit -- her serve was not that great, because I always had -- I was
always on the ball. She didn't have any advantage from her serve, which is
her best shot.
Q. Were you surprised the way she faded out in the final set?
JELENA JANKOVIC: I don't know. But I was just going for the ball. I was
really hitting it, and I was really moving her around. And probably she got
tired or something. It's not easy when you have to run from side-to-side. And
she hits the ball hard as well, so...
