US OPEN


September 10, 2000


Maria Emilia Salerni


U.S. OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP, Flushing Meadows, New York

MODERATOR: Questions in English first, please.

Q. What's the difference between this and Wimbledon? Do you feel anything emotionally different?

MARIA EMILIA SALERNI: Wimbledon helped me a lot regarding my own trust in myself and to say, "Here I am, and I came here to win."

Q. Being No. 1, has that been a goal for you this year?

MARIA EMILIA SALERNI: Yes, absolutely.

Q. Will you play Juniors next year?

MARIA EMILIA SALERNI: No.

Q. This is your last Junior event?

MARIA EMILIA SALERNI: Yes, I think.

THE INTERPRETER: She said in Spanish she thinks perhaps she will go to the quallies in Australia but is not sure yet. In her thought, the idea is to be a professional as soon as possible.

Q. What did you think of your opponent?

THE INTERPRETER: She thinks that Tatiana is a very good player, has a very good groundstroke and serves well. But she try from the very beginning to show her that she was there and she was there to win.

Q. Going into the Olympics, how will this title help your confidence, and was there anything you were working on in your game knowing that the Olympics was your next game?

MARIA EMILIA SALERNI: Yes, of course, this helps me a lot, and my wishes now are even growing because this is a good victory and it has helped me a lot - will help me a lot.

THE INTERPRETER: Now she wants to see what's going to happen there.
