U.S. OPEN

August 30, 1994

Lori McNeil

LORI McNEIL: She was good. I would say she's a steady -- she's good. She's good, but I don't think I played that well today. But I think she'd be -- she'd have better results on clay. Obviously, she's more of a clay-courter, she stays on the baseline, she's not an attacking player. She's more suited to clay, I would think.

LORI McNEIL: I thought it was just a matter of timing and sometimes I was running a little bit to come in and the ball sits up a little bit more here, and the court is really not that fast. So sometimes I was rushing a little bit.

LORI McNEIL: Yes, especially in the fifth -- sixth game or seventh game, first set.

LORI McNEIL: Yes, I would just say not a good day overall.

LORI McNEIL: It's always a disappointment when you lose a match. But I think since Wimbledon I haven't played many matches and I think it showed. I only got to play one tournament which was the Canadian Open and it is not the kind of preparation that I like to have. But it was a challenge for me to go out there and play.

LORI McNEIL: It's really hard to say right now. I think she has to add more weapons to be a great player. But she's definitely a good player. But she needs to have a bigger serve. She's just steadier and moves around the court well, big court coverage and her ground strokes are good, a lot of spin, but nothing really to knock you off the court or anything. I would say she's a good player right now.

LORI McNEIL: I mean, I like hardcourts. It's kind of a medium hardcourt. Some of the courts are probably slower than others. I know that, like, Stadium or Grand Stand or 16, definitely slower there and probably were resurfaced more recently then the others. The others are kind of medium to medium fast.
