TENNIS – Flavia Pennetta defeated Camila Giorgi in Indian Wells, 6-1, 3-6, 6-1. And she answers a few questions after her match. She thinks Fognini is an introvert, she doesn’t know Giorgi that well, and Townsend moves well, even though she is not that fit. From Indian Wells, Lucia Hoffman for Tennisvista
EXPERIENCE:
“I’m try to do my best all the time in big events, small events. There is no difference for me. I just try to play my tennis. I work hard and everything is coming out in the last seven, eight months, so I’m really happy about that.”
ON CALLING IT A DAY:
After Wimbledon it was tough, she said. “When everything is going in wrong way, you think, Okay, I don’t want to practice; I don’t want to do this or do that. But if you still do it, there is one point you don’t know why, just happen.”
WHAT A GIRL NEEDS ON THE TOUR:
“Of course I travel with my physio. Before I didn’t travel with him all year, and now I’m starting to travel with Massimo. Massimo Tosella is the name, and I been working with him since seven years. This year we decide to doing full time because I really need it.”
GOALS:
“Just to improve my tennis. I mean, I like to be better like a player. I think if you get if you be better and if you try to improve your game, serve, forehand, and my return, then I think the results is gonna come. But I don’t have like, I want to be No. 10 or something like that. Not for the moment.”
ITALIANS:
“So now it’s perfect for Italy. I mean, in women’s and men we have so many player. We have a great result in almost every week. It’s a good moment for tennis in Italy, and I hope to be better just day by day. The Italian women’s one is already since long time really consistent. The men are just starting now with Fabio, because he’s like crazy, but it’s unbelievable the way he play.
FABIO FOGNINI:
You’re good friends with Fabio off court? “ Yeah.”
Do you think he’s misunderstood, or is his craziness accurate?
“Sometimes it’s in court it’s look in the way he not is. I mean, it’s really completely different. But in the court when it’s going just too many things, he cannot handle it very well. But it’s completely sometimes the people say, Oh, you know, he’s walking like this, but it’s completely”
Q. Shy, introverted.
“Yeah”
TAYLOR TOWNSEND:
“About who? She’s also really young and she have unbelievable shots. I think also she need more need to be more consistent. She’s not that fit, but she’s powerful. She can move, she can move well,”
CAMILA GIORGI:
“Well, she’s young comparing with us, so it’s normal we don’t know her really well because we don’t have a lot of time to spend with her. But I think in the future she’s gonna be in the Fed Cup team, so we’re gonna have time to know more about Camila like a person and not like a player. But for the moment she’s really like friendly and we have a good time when we see each other. It’s nothing.”
“Physically she’s stronger. She have everything. She have a good potential, really good potential, I think.”
ON BEING AROUND THE BLOCK::
“Well, when I start everything was like new, and when you’re young you just want to win.”
AS TIME GOES BY:
“I think when the year is coming you just understand what you have to do better, and you just realize what is important. For me, it’s really important to have a team, a good team. I have a good coach inside the court and outside the court. “
