We want to continue working on being aggressive, so we can be automatic for our next few matches. It's really hard to play that way. It requires a lot of effort for one thing, and you got to pay attention so that you can do it naturally.

We are all from different countries so if we aren't friends then who are we going to hang out with?

Every time we travel we practice a lot and don?t have a lot of time off. I think the vacation will be when we get back from the trip, because we will have five days off from practice.

We're going to have a lot of people cheering against us. It's hot out there, and it's really tough.

One day it might be really cold and snowy, and the next day it might be sunny, and you might have a match that day, but the day before you practiced indoors. You have no idea what?s going on from day to day.

We are coming to America, so we are the weird ones. I think it is harder when we have had Americans on our team. It's hard for them to understand us.

I am excited. I think I have had some good years here.

When you play teams that are better than you, you begin to play better too, because if you don?t, then they basically run over you.

They?re pretty independent. They come from all over the world, so they know they have to take care of their own business. It?s not like I have to be their mom.
