I Do My Best...
03/09/2006:

Due to the Saturday rainout Justine's 4th round match against Israel's Shahar
Peer will be played on Monday, September 4. The queen of tennis shared a few
words after her 3rd round duel with Samurai Ai Sugiyama. She spoke about the
match, Fed Cup, and the excitement of a New York crowd at Arthur Ashe stadium.


Did you get the feeling she was really trying to hit to your forehand?
JH-H: No, I think that I was maybe playing too much in her backhand. She has
great backhand. Maybe at that time tactically I was playing too much on that
side. She loves to go down the line with her forehand. That's her best shot.
So she kept fighting. She's been pretty solid. That's why she came back also
in the match. After that I lost the first set, I had to play very well after
that.

How would you assess your level right now?
JH-H: Well, it's always very hard because we'll see in the next round. Now
it's getting very serious. The opponents are going to play better and better.
It's very hard. Things can change in a day or two in one sense or in the
other. It's pretty tough. When I play my game, I do it well. The fact is that
I just have to keep fighting on every point. Today was a little bit harder
for me than in the other matches, and I really had to work hard.

Every time I see you, it just seems like you love running so much. What is
your secret that you run so great on the court?
JH-H: I love running on a tennis court but not running; just for running. I
hate that. So when it's to run after a ball, I love it. But, no it's one of
my biggest qualities, the fact that I'm quick on the court and running after
a lot of balls and having a good defense. But still my game is to attack the
ball and move forward and take my chances. I do my best.


When you take time off is it easy to get back into playing again?
JH-H: After a long break. It's not easy when you come back and only have four
matches in four days last week. Probably that asks me a little bit more time
to recover than someone else. I need some time to recover. Here in a Grand
Slam it's different kind of pressure that takes a lot of energy. Coming from
New Haven to here hasn't been really easy, so probably I was still in
recovery this week. But, yeah, we'll see for next round.

Are you still planning on playing Fed Cup after this?
JH-H: I will. For sure.

Did you see any of Andre's match last night?
JH-H: I watched the first two sets, yeah. I was very happy for him. Even if
Marcos Baghdatis is a great guy, I like him very much. But it was even on TV,
we could feel the atmosphere. So I was it looked very amazing. When I saw the
score this morning, I was very happy. I think he deserved it. They played a
great match. It was I think beautiful to watch on TV.

Did you get any sense of the atmosphere today in your match?
JH-H: Yeah, it's not similar. No, I mean, what the atmosphere that there was
in the stadium last night, I think it's only in this kind of situation that
you can feel it. That remind me a little bit when I played Capriati here in
2003 in this pretty amazing semifinal. So, no, there was yeah, I was also
little bit sad for Baghdatis. He was playing great also on a few points. Not
a lot of people, but everyone can understand that.

What is it like to be in New York and have the entire place against you when
you're playing an American like Capriati?
JH-H: Yeah, I changed the crowd little bit three years ago. They were behind
me at the end. No, that's a strange feeling. The stadium is big, so a lot of
people. That wasn't very easy. I was leading against Capriati, and then the
fans, I think, brought her back in the match. They help her a lot, gave her
so much support, which I understand completely. That's pretty normal. That
would be the same in Belgium maybe not as much, but it's amazing. It's part
of the game, but it's not easy for the other player, for sure.
(那一場可稱的上juju經典逆轉比賽之一，還面對全場的地主觀眾)

Is it like a supercharged Fed Cup atmosphere? Is it less than a Fed Cup
atmosphere?
JH-H: Oh, it's very, very difficult to compare the events, you know. But, no,
it's the fact is that it's the biggest stadium we play in, and that makes a
big difference. It feels huge when you are out there.
