AUSTRALIAN OPENJanuary 20, 2012Caroline WozniackiMELBOURNE, VICTORIA C. WOZNIACKI/M. Niculescu THE MODERATOR: Questions, please. Q. How did you feel out there? CAROLINE WOZNIACKI: Um, I felt pretty good. I mean, it was nice weather to play in, overcast, the temperature was nice. Yeah, I felt like it was up to me what was going to happen out there on court. Yeah, I was pretty happy. Q. Did the score in the first set look easier than it actually was? CAROLINE WOZNIACKI: I mean, we had a lot of long rallies because she got a lot of balls back. With her slice forehand as well it was tough to finish out the point sometimes. But I don't know. I felt like I was in control. Q. Do you think at all about the whole No. 1 situation, or just not in your mind? CAROLINE WOZNIACKI: To be honest, I just play. I want to try to do my best here. Whatever happens, happens. To be honest, I've proven myself for the last two years. I've finished No. 1 twice in a row. For me, the most important thing is to keep improving. If I do that, I know I can play on a very high level. If you win matches in tournaments, then the ranking will be there automatically. My main priority is just to try to play every match that I play. Of course that's pretty tough, but, yeah. Q. You seem to come in quite a few times during this match, more than we normally see you do. Are you starting to feel more comfortable at the net? CAROLINE WOZNIACKI: Yeah, I mean, I've worked quite a bit on my volleys. I still think I could have finished up a few more points up there, but I'm improving and I'm trying to move in when I can sometimes. The last I don't know how many years I've played I've always had a two‑handed backhand volley. I've tried to change that to a one‑hand. It's just about getting the confidence to play with it in a real match as well. You can do it in practice, but it's always different to play a match. I felt like did I pretty well. Q. Change for more reach? CAROLINE WOZNIACKI: Yeah, and just it looks better, too. (Laughter.) No, but, yeah, for more reach obviously, and then I always thought that‑‑ I mean, the proper volley is the one‑hand backhand volley, so I try to do that. And also my one‑handed backhand slice. I don't use it too much, but if I have to I will. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports |
