THE MODERATOR: Questions in English, please.

Q. Commiserations on the defeat. I know it's not easy, having just come off court half an hour ago, but could I ask for your reflections on the match, please?

MAGDALENA FRECH: Yeah, for me, I had everything under control until 4-2 in the second set. Then I changed my tactic. I don't know why. But I wanted to be more aggressive. I tried to push her.

Yeah, she played really well. I did few mistakes, and then she makes a lot of winners. She had confidence, I think. Yeah, and I lost it.

Q. Marina's enjoying a really, really good week. How does she compare to other players, let's say, 18 years old, that you've played against? How do you rate her?

MAGDALENA FRECH: Yeah, I think she played one of the best tennis. I think she's a team player, because I felt it.

She felt really good on the court with the team and everything. She played her best, I think, 120%, and I didn't. That's the difference.
