TENNIS Internazionali BNL d’Italia – S. Williams d. V. Lepchenko 6-1. 6-2. An interview with Serena Williams.
Q: How did you cope with cold weather?
SERENA WILLIAMS: It wasn’t that cold tonight for me, it was fine. When I start playing I thought I am going to play in pants but I had to take them off.
Q: Tough performance by you tonight, you’re moving seemingly very well…
SERENA WILLIAMS: I was little shocked, ‘oh man, I am running fast!’. Today was a really good match because she is a good clay court player and you have to work the point to win so that was a really good match and I am really glad because I am playing as many matches as I want on clay.
Q: How this match was different from the last you play in Madrid?
SERENA WILLIAMS: In Madrid playing Suarez-Navarro was also good for me, but it was interesting for me. I enjoy clay game, it got me back on the mentality, you’re not going for a winner today, got to slide around, enjoy and I love it.
