Press Conference

C. GARCIA/L. Siegemund

1-6, 6-3, 6-3

THE MODERATOR: Tough result, but what do you take away from the tournament and how you played thus far?

LAURA SIEGEMUND: Yeah, obviously now right after the match or an hour after the match, I'm still disappointed because I think I played really well and I had chances maybe to achieve more today.

But, on the other hand, I have to be very proud of my performance. I have to be proud of the tournament overall. I had two very tough first and second round -- two tough matches there, and I recovered from it and, yeah, performed very, very well today. So I have to definitely see the positives.

Also, we're talking one of the best players in the world right now, so I can compete with the best, and that's something that after the injury history and everything that I had, that's definitely a great thing for me to take away.

But I'm a competitor, and I want to win (laughing), so never happy if I don't win. But when I have a little bit of team, I'll see the positive things more and more, I think.
