Kim Clijsters Felt Quotations

Obviously I'm very disappointed. I trained very hard this summer and felt in a good shape to play the U.S. Open.

So far, and today, everything felt really great. Now I am good to get on the plane and fly to Australia.

I was feeling very weird out there today. In general, I was just felt very empty out there today. All of a sudden I was going for wide backhands, felt no power in my legs to push off and to create the power that you have to create.

I can hit some winners with my forehand and that's where I put on some pressure. My serve kept me in a lot of games, too, ... This is the best that I've felt so far. I was moving well, I was quick on my feet.

I felt good and did what I had to win, and that's important in these kind of matches.

I felt I wasn't going to be able to push off sideways on my forehand. It's very frustrating. I felt like in that third set I was getting into it.

I felt like I got a really good workout and I had some good rallies even though I wasn't on the court very long but that's to my advantage.

I felt like I played well and did everything that I could, and it just wasn't good enough at the end.

I have been getting stronger as the tournament went on and I felt good today in the second set again.

That felt really good, I didn't think I would start the year like this,

I'm still not moving like I normally can, but a lot better. I just have to do a lot of treatment and everything and that's what I'm doing. I'm not going to hit tomorrow and just keep my routine going so that I'm fresh when I have to be out there. That's why I was wearing my tape today because I felt in my previous match, with the serve, I was just compensating my back a little bit. It started to hurt my left leg, my left hamstring, that's why it's taped today.

It felt good. I'm happy with the way everything is going.

I think it was going to be a close one. It's a shame it had to happen. I think Amelie played a really good second set. From the start, I felt that she was a little bit more aggressive on the second, third ball straight away...Yeah, very frustrating week.

It can change so quickly. That was the frustrating part. I felt like I was controlling the rallies in the first and the beginning of the second set, and all of a sudden you just lose all the feeling of your strokes. That's tennis sometimes.

Well, I didn't do too bad the tournaments after that, ... But I felt like I played well that match. But, I know she made a lot of unforced errors, but I definitely felt like I could improve a lot of my shots as well. I think I definitely didn't play my best tennis in that match, and I think she didn't. I know she didn't. So, it's give and take.

I had the chance to do it, but I came a bit short and I felt it in my legs.

It's very frustrating, because I felt like in that third set I was really getting into it.

I twisted the ankle trying to position myself to hit a backhand. I immediately felt something wasn't right.

It was a harder match than the score indicated. I felt quite good. I did what I had to do.

In my mind as well I was positive, focused, and it was definitely a big step forward compared to yesterday. My serve was on most of the time. I felt good and was hitting the lines.

I am very happy the way I turned things around from yesterday and I felt a lot better today.

I felt tired. The lights felt too bright. I was just mentally tired.
