U.S. OPEN

September 1, 1992

Anke Huber

Q. Did you think that you were able to get back into it in that second set?

ANKE HUBER: You think all the time that you can come back, but I just missed too many easy points and so--

Q. Are you very disappointed?

ANKE HUBER: I am disappointed because I never played good in the U.S. Open. Perhaps next year.

Q. A lot of people say this is a difficult place to play compared to the other Grand Slams. How do you find it?

ANKE HUBER: The difficult places like the other ones, you just have to play your game and not to think about the other things, so not because of this difficult to play.

Q. Are you more disappointed with this than previous disappointments here?

ANKE HUBER: It is difficult to say. The first year I lost against Capriati, okay, it was a close match and second round, it was also a big disappointment. This year, I played very good last week, so it helps me a little bit.

Q. Did she frustrate you the way she got back, you know, so many balls that looked like they could have been winners?

ANKE HUBER: I think she played a very good match. She played first very consistently and second, I think in the end, she lost a little bit concentration, so -- it was just, I don't know.

Q. Was it the kind of thing where you didn't feel like you were playing well at all, all day, and you were trying to figure out a way to fix it? Were you having difficulty with your game from the very beginning today?

ANKE HUBER: Yeah. I couldn't find the rhythm. I think it was just from the beginning, I didn't make enough pressure.

Q. Since you had played well, last week, you said, when you came in here, what were you hoping to do here?

ANKE HUBER: I knew that I have a very tough first round, so I didn't think about it, the next round or something like this. But if I would have won this match, I think I had a good draw after this, so just -- but I concentrate on this match, so--

Q. You had a good draw until--

ANKE HUBER: I don't know, by the second round, I think it was very good.

Q. When you saved the three match points, did you think that maybe she might get a little frustrated; that might turn it in your way?

ANKE HUBER: Yeah, I hoped. It wasn't.
