Kim Clijsters Played Quotations

I would have loved to have played another year under his guidance,

She just played great tennis, ... I don't think I played my best tennis in any of those matches. But tomorrow has nothing to do with those matches.

She definitely hits the ball a lot harder than she used to when I played her in the previous times. By getting more matches and more rhythm and everything, she's going to improve even more.

She started really well. No matter how well I played in the first set, I think she would have won it.

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

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.

I've been happy with how I've played all summer. It took a while to get my rhythm since I hadn't been on Armstrong Stadium court in quite some time.

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.

This is the best she's ever played against me,

I want to have a match here so that I don't go into the Australian Open without having played a match for a week and a half, two weeks almost.

I played pretty well today and stayed aggressive because she is a tough opponent, ... This is where it all started for me so I'm really pleased to win again here today. One year ago I was injured, some months ago I was ranked around 130, and right now I am really pleased that I'm healthy and playing well.

That's the best she's ever played against me. When she's on, she hits the ball harder than anyone on the Tour and I think you could see today her serve has improved a lot too. She's always very dangerous... I think for me it was one match too much physically. I've done really well the last few weeks and months to keep playing as well as I have and I had to have a let down at some point.

I don't want to make excuses because I haven't played so many matches and that this was my first match on clay this season. I had trained and I was ready.

I don't think either of us played our best tennis today. My footwork and movement was not as it should be and I made a few unforced errors but that's tennis.
