Q. Last two wins, two top 10 players. What's the feeling?
SORANA CÎRSTEA: Of course it's a great feeling, and the most important is that I'm happy with my game and the way I'm playing. I hope I can keep up like this, and hope it's just the beginning.
Q. What do you think was the key point today?
SORANA CÎRSTEA: First of all, I really wanted to win. Maybe I wanted too much in the first set andI wasn't playing the right way. I was a little nervous. But then after I lose the first set, I said, I have nothing to lose. I just need to relax.
I did that until the end of the third set when I started to get again nervous because it was an important match for me and was the first time I was playing fourth round.
I really wanted to win, but I think I was trying to take control of all the points and just stay aggressive.
Q. Did you notice that in the stands there were Ion Tiriac, Illie Nastase, and Virginia Ruzici watching you?
SORANA CÎRSTEA: Yeah, when I was coming for my match, I saw Mr. Nastase. He said he was coming for my match, so I knew he was there. Virginia, she just sent me a message after my match. I also knew she was there. And Mr. Tiriac, I didn't see him. I'm happy he was also there.
Q. You seem to feel quite comfortable on the big court and everything. Do you like the big stage?
SORANA CÎRSTEA: Yeah. I always said that I love playing on big courts, because I love having a lot of people supporting me and big crowds. That motivates me a lot.
I mean, at the end the atmosphere was unbelievable, and I think that was a good thing, also, because I felt the crowd was with me and that gave me more energy.
Q. It seemed like at times your legs were about to give out, so what did you tell yourself? Just keep going even if I fall down? Doesn't matter?
SORANA CÎRSTEA: Exactly. I mean, of course it wasn't easy at the end. I was getting tight, and I started to feel in my hamstring. I was just trying to jump around.
I was looking on theother side, and I saw she was tired, also. So I knew it was also a little bit mental who is going to stay stronger,and I was just trying, you know, to keep the energy coming and just try to hit and keep the points shorter.
