S. Williams - 17.05.2012

Q: What was problem at the at the end?
WILLIAMS: My tape was so tight that I gave myself when nobody was looking in the
locker ….. a couple of extra heel locks and ……. the ankle was too tight
and I wanted to loosen the tape and so I called the trainer to
retape…….it was too tight.
Q: You played on the Pietrangeli court. Did you like it?
WILLIAMS: I've been here a long time and I've played on that court and I've had
memorable matches on that court and it reminded me when I was sure
young and I have really good memories.
Q: How do you feel 10 days before the Roland Garros?
WILLIAMS: Is it only 10 days? I'm getting nervous. I feel good and I have had a lot
of practice on clay and today I was running so much and I was ready to
play and feeling good. I wasn't tired at all. I feel good.
Q: Venus had a great win today. Being that what she seen through –
getting into the top 50 ………….how good an achievement is that
and you must be impressed.
WILLIAMS: I'm extremely impressed and she has been through so much and when I
think of her when I am down and tired. I think she is great and she is so
motivated and what she had been going through. I've never been so
motivated to continue…on my journey.
Q: You played Pennetta twice, one in Miami in 3 sets and in the US
Open in 2 sets in the quarter final. What do you remember and why

never with you? Is it that you have a different game from you
sister?
You played with Schiavone but you lost but you had to play against
the crown and you were not in great shape. What do you remember
about that match.
WILLIAMS: I think Pennetta is playing great and I actually don't remember playing
her in Miami but I do remember the US Open and she is playing
unbelievable today and I said "Oh my God" she is playing really well.
and why she got 4 wins against Venus – I don’t know. We have different

Schiavone. I can remember that match, I didn't play great and she
played well – she and Schiavone are great players and she won the
French Open and on clay she is a fabulous player great and both she
and Schiavone are extremely nice girls. I couldn't look forward to it
more. The
