ROGERS CUP PRESENTED BY AMERICAN EXPRESSAugust 15, 2007Anna ChakvetadzeTORONTO, ONTARIO THE MODERATOR: Questions, please. Q. Did you feel bad right from the start of the match? ANNA CHAKVETADZE: No, I felt okay. And I actually felt that I'm ready to finish the match, you know, and I'm ready to play to the end. And I start pretty solid 3-Love up. And then suddenly I felt that, like, point by point, my power's going away. So, and it was really long rallies, you know. And I felt that after I lost first set, you know, I felt that I'm not ready physically to finish the match. And it's a pity, because I felt that I am in good shape, but just, you know, physically I just can't run. And I just can't finish the match. Q. This is the same kind of flu bug that you had from San Diego? ANNA CHAKVETADZE: Yeah, it's still the same thing. And, I mean, I've been practicing for just an hour every day, and I felt it's okay. But I actually didn't run that much on those practices. I just, you know, just played from one place, you know, didn't run. Just crosscourt and served. Didn't do that much. That's why, I mean, if I know that I was not able to finish the match, I would never go out to the court. Because it's happened -- I mean, it's very, very pity for me because I have to defend semifinals here. And I like this tournament, and it's just very sad. Q. Do you have any concern going into the US Open? ANNA CHAKVETADZE: Yeah. Hopefully, I have one - more than a week to rest, you know. And hopefully it will be okay. Q. How about the fact that you won't be getting in, I guess, matches now going into the Open. Do you feel comfortable still? ANNA CHAKVETADZE: I'm feeling sick. That's it (smiling). I mean, you never know how you're going to play in a week. Right now I'm feeling that I'm playing okay. I'm on my rhythm. I feel my serve. And I'm just, as I said, not ready physically. Q. I'm sorry. What are the symptoms you're feeling, nausea, light-headed? ANNA CHAKVETADZE: Yeah, headache, a little bit dizziness and can't really breathe well, you know. And I have cough which was bothering me during the match. All cold symptoms. End of FastScripts |
