STATE FARM EVERT CUPMarch 11, 1998Conchita MartinezINDIAN WELLS, CALIFORNIA, MARTINA HINGIS/C. Martinez 6-1, 7-5 Q. Conchita, what is the injury? How much did it bother you? CONCHITA MARTINEZ: It was just a blister. Q. Blister? CONCHITA MARTINEZ: Yes. Q. On the foot? CONCHITA MARTINEZ: Uh-huh. Q. How much did it bother you? CONCHITA MARTINEZ: Oh, nothing. When I covered it up, it was okay. Q. Conchita, why did you ask for that injury time-out? CONCHITA MARTINEZ: I just answered that. It was a blister on my toe. Q. Which toe? CONCHITA MARTINEZ: I don't know, one of them. Q. What do you suppose you did that seemed to turn the match around for you in the second set? CONCHITA MARTINEZ: I was more aggressive. Went for my shots a little bit more. Tried to play deep. That worked pretty well. Q. How come you turned it around again? CONCHITA MARTINEZ: I think she was on and off. She was really, really aggressive in the first set, going for her shots a lot. Really didn't let me do anything. I was not getting to the ball fast enough. I think the second set, I moved better. Then all of a sudden, I mean, I couldn't -- some of the games were tight and I couldn't put her away. She played well, didn't make any mistakes. Q. Was there ever any time during that three-minute injury time-out when you thought you might not be able to return within the allowable three minutes? CONCHITA MARTINEZ: No. Q. Twice you were within two points of winning the second set. Did you have questions about whether you could win it or not? CONCHITA MARTINEZ: No. I mean, I always thought that I could win it. It was pretty close, but I think she played those games pretty well. Q. Are you going to remember this as one of the best matches you played against her? CONCHITA MARTINEZ: No. I mean, I play well. I'm not very happy the way I started playing, you know. If you play her like this, you can't give her so much advantage in the first set. I think it was over, I don't know, less than half an hour. You have to try to stay really aggressive and hopefully I can do that next time. End of FastScripts.... |
