I really don't know what's going on with my leg right now, it sucks, especially since I didn't want to get injured this close to the Open, and now I'm kind of worried a little bit.

I'm disappointed to have to withdraw from the Finals, it has been a great event in Shenzhen, and it's the biggest WTA event of the year. This is not how I wanted to end this tournament or my season.

sports

It's not ideal, this is the second time I had to withdraw from the finals. I mean, the last time I at least played, so a retirement instead of a withdrawal.

sports

Surprisingly, I think this year is better than last year, even though I cried way more this year than I did last year, i also think that's a lesson that I learned. It's just like you have the opportunity to change the things that are happening to you, even though it might not seem like it at the moment. I definitely think that this year was somehow better.

Every day, he has something new to say, like, he wins and then he's, like, 'Because of you guys I have the energy', the sarcasm is beautiful.

sports

For me, I think this was the most focused I've been since Australia, so, sorry for playing you with this type of mentality.

Her dad and my dad are actually quite cool, she seems to be doing... by Naomi Osaka

Her dad and my dad are actually quite cool, she seems to be doing great.

sports

I thought I did pretty well, i feel like I knew going into the match that she was going to play really well. Like, we have such long matches every time we play, so I wasn't expecting anything different this time around.

sports

I thought I played really well despite the fact that we only played one set, i'm just happy that it was my first match in a while and I was able to get in the groove of things quickly.

sports

People have been telling me that if I get to the semis I stay at number one so I wanted to do that, i wanted to do that and was thinking about it while I was playing, which wasn't a good thing. I play my best when I'm calm and today I wasn't, so that's the biggest thing I can learn.

sports

I think I played well today. But I knew that I had to because I've played her twice before already and it was on hard court and then I didn't know what to expect today so I tried to stay as focused as I could, i'm in a really good place right now. I feel like I'm having fun playing tennis again which is always a good thing and I always play well if I have that mentality.

sports

This match was on my racket because she (Sorribes Tormo) doesn't really have the game. She wasn't going for winners and I felt either the point was ended by me making an unforced error, or me making a winner, i feel like in the first set, I got a bit lucky there. In the second set I got a little bit unfocused and then in the third set I went zombie mode and then just thought of everything that I had to do to win.

You owe me an apology, i have never cheated in my life! by Naomi Osaka

You owe me an apology, i have never cheated in my life!

sports

I'm really sorry I'm not able to compete for the semis today, i unfortunately got injured yesterday and I was waiting till today to see if I could get better.

sports

I told myself I didn't want to have any regrets here, i was stressed out when I went down 1-5... but this (comeback) was pretty good because I don't play really well on clay.

sports

If there is one positive thing I can say about myself, it's that I learn quickly, so, for me it has been fun because I like to apply what I did wrong in the past, and I think that is what I was able to do today.

sports

Every other court or( surface), I have more experience than I have on clay because honestly, every time I come here I get injured, i'm hoping that won't happen this year.

sports

I didn't play that well, but honestly, I think at a time like this with that scoreline, I would usually feel very depressed and sad.

sports

I feel like there is no anonymity, that was something that I used to my advantage maybe when I was like 18, 19. But I think now there is way too many videos and too many people have watched my matches.

sports

This is something that I have been working on a lot, which is trying to get deeper in tournaments more consistently. I think I have been able to do that, but for me right now I just try to keep looking forward. So I'm not really satisfied — I am happy that I'm here, but at the same time I want to keep going. There are more matches to win.

sports

I already know that to be here is something that a lot of people want, and I know that a few months ago I would have given anything to be in the semi-finals of a Grand Slam, but it's this weird feeling of you want to do the next big thing. And especially now that I won a Grand Slam, and I feel like I want to win another one, and I'm so close and I just want to keep going.
