“I am really disappointed for the tournament organizers, the fans and of course myself, ... I was looking forward to playing in Antwerp for the first time since becoming No. 1 in the world and wanted to show the fans what I'm capable of. It's really unfortunate.”
“I started very well. Even when she came back [after a break] in the first set, I think I [was] very consistent, won a lot of points with the forehand. I was up 2-0 in the second and lost a little bit of energy and aggression. She took all the opportunities. She was serving much better, came to the net much more often.”
“I wasn't feeling that great on the court. Not very comfortable. I didn't know her at all and it took me almost a set to get used to her game. There was no rhythm in the match. I was doing the mistakes and the winners. That's not the kind of game I like. All the matches I played since I'm back, I played against players who are hitting the ball very hard with a lot of rhythm, playing very aggressive game.”
“I was coming into Australia to get my confidence back and the rhythm of competition. I'm surprising myself a little bit. It's been very quick for me.”
