Maria, obviously Serena has been playing well for the last year. Even for her, that was a good performance. Did you feel there was anything you could do out there tonight?
Well, I think I try to do something special tonight. That’s why was so many mistakes. I just maybe had to play little bit more simple. So that’s it. We didn’t even have long points. It was really difficult to get the rhythm, you know. But it’s okay. It’s happens.
You felt like playing against her you had to do more?
Yeah, I played like I want to play something unbelievable, every shot I want to do the good shot. But sometimes you just have to play just simple, maybe just through the middle. But actually when I played through the middle, then she started to make winners. That’s why maybe I was trying too much. It wasn’t my day today.
She made 87% of her first serves.
Exactly, yeah. I remember only once I returned on the second serve.
Have you ever played anyone who served as well as she did?
Actually, I think she has like one of the best serves on tour. That’s why it’s difficult to return, so…
How surprised would you be if Serena didn’t win the tournament?
Well, I don’t care now, to be honest.

Having now seen a TV reply of Maria’s match against Serena. No matter what Maria tried to do, Serena just played better. I hope Maria doesn’t beat herself up about losing that match. Serena was just way too good on the day. Maria game has improved by a huge amount in the last 12 to 18 months. No question. Her game is going the right direction. Its gonna be great for her fans, following her progress in 2013.
It’s January 25, 2013…Happy Birthday, Maria!
