AUSTRALIAN OPENJanuary 19, 2008Agnieszka RadwanskaMELBOURNE, VICTORIA THE MODERATOR: Questions, please. Q. Sharapova last year at the Open, and right now you have Svetlana Kuznetsova on your board. Do you think you've found an ideal surface to beat Russian players? AGNIESZKA RADWANSKA: Actually, it was exactly the same match: Third round in the Grand Slam, playing No. 2 on center court. So exactly the same match, a Russian player, and so -- and both matches I had nothing to lose. Just play and try my best, and I did it twice. Q. Does that give you confidence, now that you've played, you've beaten a big name already, can you come out in a Grand Slam and do it again? AGNIESZKA RADWANSKA: Yeah, I'm very excited and happy. I lost against her a few times already, but it was very close, 6-3 in the third and 6-4 in the third. Finally I did it. I beat her. Q. Did you learn much about her in those previous three matches you played against her? AGNIESZKA RADWANSKA: Yeah, I was playing many matches against top players, so I know how to play. I have to play aggressive and try my best even if I'm losing 3-Love. Q. Do you think you're playing well enough to keep going through the rounds and get right into a semifinal or in the final if you keep going? AGNIESZKA RADWANSKA: I don't know. Actually, I want to be first in the quarter final here, and last year it was second. I'm already in the fourth, so I'm very happy that I did another step. Q. Last year you were still in school at this time. AGNIESZKA RADWANSKA: Yeah. Q. But are you all done now? AGNIESZKA RADWANSKA: Yeah, actually, I finished my school half year ago, so... Q. Does it make tennis easier not to have those other responsibilities? AGNIESZKA RADWANSKA: I have more time, for sure. But now I'm doing driving lessons, so it's not... Q. Driving lessons? AGNIESZKA RADWANSKA: Yeah. I have exam after Australian Open, actually. Q. Are you driving on the wrong side of the road here? AGNIESZKA RADWANSKA: No, not here, just in Europe. Q. So how long is that going to take? You said you'd be taking a test right after. AGNIESZKA RADWANSKA: Actually I did already my driving lesson, actually the lessons, and the exam will be after the Australian Open. Q. And you talked to us quite a bit last year about your pets. AGNIESZKA RADWANSKA: Yeah. Q. Do you still have those two pets? AGNIESZKA RADWANSKA: Yeah, yeah. I have still two rats. Q. Do you feel still like a teenager or a woman? AGNIESZKA RADWANSKA: Hard to say, but normal. I feel normal, like normal person, normal player, normal girl. End of FastScripts |
