The humidity is high. You have to change your shirt, you have to drink correct, eat correct, sleep correct, ... To stay here is wonderful, but you have to follow every step.

It's very difficult playing against another Italian.

It was very tough, but I was tired because I had problems with the flight and it took me 40 hours to get here from New York.

It was a nice match, nothing special but it's not easy because it was the first match of the year.

In the second set I tried to serve better and to do better with my return and make her play what she doesn't want. I tried to run faster, but it's not easy when she hits the ball with such good timing.

It's very difficult playing against another Italian. Flavia and I are very good friends. We were together until an hour before the match, but when you go on court there are no friends.

I'm looking forward to playing against Francesca, ... We are very good friends, so even if she beats me, I'll be happy for her.

Lindsay is great champion.

You just fight. In the first set she just had that little bit extra, and it was the same for me in the third.
