I was invited( to the Oscars) by Rolex and thought it was a great opportunity, a chance in a lifetime, i felt like a bit out of place, like,' what am I doing here ?' It's all about superstars and I was there representing the world of sport. It was a good experience to witness all the Hollywood glam. But I'm in a different world of competition.

She played big today. She took a lot of risks, and it worked for her, i also think that my level today was not where I wanted it to be. That's also why she could develop that kind of level. It's a little bit sad... but she played great.

She's one of the greatest. Is good to have her in the draw. You always want to face the best opponents.

I feel always under pressure in every tournament. Of course, here it adds some extra. How do you deal with that? You just try to do your thing, you try not to give too much importance to 'what if?' what's going to happen. You just train and get ready.

I think something's changing here. I started on the clay in Spain and, but I've proved that Spanish girls can play on grass and people will think it's cool, it will be very important preparation for Wimbledon. One of my key tournaments to get ready so it's perfect.

People only see two hours of a tennis match where you're fighting and running and sometimes getting upset. There's a lot more than those two hours. Going out there and playing is actually the easy part.

I was always following my brothers. If my brothers hadn't played, I never would have picked up a racket. Tennis isn't the most popular sport in Venezuela.
