I was able to break right away and that made things go well form the beginning."

"I think Svetlana was pretty solid," she said. "For me, you know, its still a work in progress." She said the time off did contribute to the result.

I was tense in the first set and that claimed a lot of energy. "In the second I played better but in the third a couple of points made the difference." Pospisil also pointed to his heavy playing schedule at Cincinnati as a problem. "I had heavy legs at that point, maybe I was paying the price for the first set," he said.
