I've been pretty good about keeping my nose to the grindstone. I feel like I won a lot of matches from hard work and persistence, even maybe when I had better options as far as shot-making.
If it looked like it was easy, that's because I played really well today. It was certainly one of my best matches this season.
Tonight is the kind of night where you feel you're on the verge of playing well, but then I'd throw in some errors, ... It was one of those see-saw matches that you kind of fight through and win stuff you feel is maybe not your best.
There's no such thing as an open draw. The fact that seeds are out means everyone can play. You have to win matches and sets.
I needed to get some matches in and I feel like I am competing well,
It's good. I feel like I played well two matches in a row here against pretty good players. I haven't done that probably since last fall.
