"I think she played well in the second set," Serena said after the match. "I wasn't sharp at all in the first set, and she got more confident from there. She clearly ran away with it. "I suppose things went wrong in the second game since I won the first — it was the only game I won in the match. I'm just taking everything a day at a time.
"I think she played better in this match than she has in about 18 months, so that's great for her. I know I can play a zillion times better, but I have so many things on my mind, I don't have time to be shocked about a loss that clearly wasn't when I was at my best. I can only try to be there and fight, which is what I was doing out there. I moved a lot better, too, so I'll take the positives where I can."
