AUSTRALIAN OPEN


January 28, 2004


Anastasia Myskina


MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA

THE MODERATOR: Questions for Anastasia.

Q. You had an injured opponent. Did you ever consider dropshotting her?

ANASTASIA MYSKINA: I did couple, and Kim was pretty quick. So I lose this couple points, then I was not really confident to do this again. But I think I lose the match -- this match before the match already.

Q. Was it nerves?

ANASTASIA MYSKINA: Yeah, I was kind of nervous because I thought I have a good chance to play, I mean, at least to play three sets with Kim, maybe beat her. But that was not my day, for sure.

Q. Have you ever seen the movie "Anastasia"?

ANASTASIA MYSKINA: Cartoon, not movie.

Q. No, the very serious movie, from the 1950s, with Ingrid Bergman. You'd love it.

ANASTASIA MYSKINA: Okay.

Q. What did you think when she took the injury break, that you had a good chance of winning at that stage?

ANASTASIA MYSKINA: Oh, definitely Kim took it just because she was hurt. I think she had the pain, that's why she took it, not just because there was something that she want to change or break my rhythm. I lost -- I don't know. I lost this match because I did lot of unforced errors. That's why I lost this match, not because of the break.

Q. During that injury time, you sat there for quite a while. Did that add to your nerves as well?

ANASTASIA MYSKINA: Not really. I was just thinking to keep the ball, you know, and play rallies. But I wasn't able today to play lot of rallies, you know, and Kim just beat me in these rallies.

Q. Where to next?

ANASTASIA MYSKINA: Home Sweet Home.
