DUBAI DUTY FREE TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIPSFebruary 18, 2016Barbora StrycovaDubai, United Arab Emirates B. STRYCOVA/A. Ivanovic 7-6, 6-3 THE MODERATOR: Questions, please. Q. Why do you think you won that match today? BARBORA STRYCOVA: Why? Because I believed myself. And I changed a little bit some things before I went on court, because I lost the previous matches against Ana, so I had to change a little bit the return. I was trying to be aggressive because the conditions on this court is really fast, so you have to also play a little bit quick not to spin all the time the balls. So that was working well, and I think I was returning also very well. Q. That first set was the crucial one, wasn't it? BARBORA STRYCOVA: Yeah. Q. Did that give you the extra confidence? BARBORA STRYCOVA: For sure. Q. Down 5-3 in the tiebreaker? BARBORA STRYCOVA: Yeah, I was 5-3 down. I was playing very good four balls in a row. I told myself when I was 5-3 down I was playing a little bit like didn't believe that I can do it, so I changed that. I played very well the last four balls. That gave me so much confidence for the second set. Q. What's it feel like being in the semifinals? BARBORA STRYCOVA: It feels great (smiling). Yeah, I'm happy about it. I'm happy the way I play, and. I'm playing Caroline tomorrow. She's a young gun (smiling). I'm looking forward for that. Q. Have you played her before? BARBORA STRYCOVA: I played her last year in Australian Open. I won that match, but it wasn't easy. Totally different conditions here, so we will see. Q. Played her the first round, right? BARBORA STRYCOVA: Yeah, first round against her, yeah. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
