Jennifer Capriati

JENNIFER CAPRIATI: No, I mean I went in there thinking it was going to be a tough match. I mean the scores might have looked, you know, easy, but still it was a difficult match to play just with the conditions and everything. And towards the end there, I had to make sure I kept concentrating. So, I mean I was just thinking about my game. I just thought if I could play well, I'd be okay.

JENNIFER CAPRIATI: Actually, no. It felt good. As you probably saw, I had a heavy tape job there. I've just been getting a lot of treatment ever since my last match. So it felt good.

JENNIFER CAPRIATI: Oh, yeah. I mean, I'm just here playing in a Grand Slam and of course, you know, I just want to do the best that I can do and that's enough motivation for me. It's just, you know, I just try and win every match. It doesn't matter who I'm playing.

JENNIFER CAPRIATI: Well, I think, you know, if I was making mistakes also it would have been easy for her. So I mean I think I just played my game and played well and, you know, didn't give her any opportunity at all, any openings.

JENNIFER CAPRIATI: Yeah.

JENNIFER CAPRIATI: I don't have any opinion about it.

JENNIFER CAPRIATI: I guess so. I don't know right now. I'm just concentrating on my game and myself and that's it.
