Navijam za Serenu (zelim novi Serena's slam) ili za Sarapovu (da zaokruzi slemove). Zbog Jelene sada jedem cokoladice da se smirim.
Vidi se da je htela vinere, a onda presla na plan B. Nije joj islo.
Ja jedva cekam americku turneju. Vimbldon ne volim.

An interview with:
JELENAJANKOVIC
THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.
Q. Long, long match. It seems thatyou have maybe not the energy to finish it off.
JELENA JANKOVIC: Yeah, it was a long match. To be honest, I kind of let down in thesecond set. You know, I should have wonthat, you know, game at 2‑0. It was along one, and I give her huge lead.
And then we have to go,you know, of course in the third set. Iserve at 6‑5. I had 30‑Love, and that'swhen I should have went more for my shots and reached a little more and triedto finish off the match point by point.
You know, we were tied at 6‑All, you know,and all these games. At the at the endof the day didn't go in my favor. Reallytough match and tough loss for me.
Q. Howwere you feeling on the court? Becauseyou had a problem with the feet, with one foot, or what?
JELENA JANKOVIC: Yeah, I had problem with my ‑‑ withsomething with my toe, you know. Ihad ‑‑ it was hurting me inside, and ‑‑ you know, but after that itwas fine. I forgot about it.
I also have pain in myabdominal. But, no, when I'm on thecourt I just try to just forget all the pains that I have, and I just try to dothe best that I can on the court and try to win.
But, unfortunately it didn't happen for metoday.
Q. Isthere something very difficult in her game?
JELENA JANKOVIC: It's not something difficult in hergame. When you have 6‑5 and you have 30‑Loveand need two more points to go ‑‑ it's now for me easy to say, you know, Ishould have gone for more and I should have risked. But I didn't do that, and, you know, it costme the match.
I should have wonthat. I should've closed the match outat 6‑5. I had 30‑Love, and what more canI ask for myself? All of a sudden, pointby point, and the game went in her favor and everything got complicated.
The longer we played I got a little bittired, to be honest. But for sure shewas also tired.
At the end, you know, I lost thematch, so this is what counts. Doesn'tmatter what happened on the court. It'sjust the winner that gets through ‑‑ goes through this match and goes tothe quarterfinals.
Q. Didyou know how well she could play?
JELENA JANKOVIC: I didn't know how well she could play, but Iknow how well I can play. I'm notproducing that game, so it's obvious, you know. The way you play, this is the result you're going to have at the end ofthe day. That's all I can say.
I cannot control howshe's playing or what kind of game she has. All can I do is control my thing and what I can do best. But obviously I'm not playing the same gameand not same style as I used to play last year, end of the year when I waswinning a lot of matches and was the No. 1 player in the world.
So unfortunately, some things have to ‑‑I have to learn and I have to change.
Q. Youstruggled a lot at the beginning of the season, and then it seems that it wasmuch better, that you were improving maybe slowly, but you were improving. Do you think you are still far from yourbest, from the best you can do?
JELENA JANKOVIC: No, I need ‑‑ you know, I need myconfidence back. I need this ‑‑ youknow, when it's important points, important moment of the match, I need to, youknow, go for my shots. I need to havethat belief that they're going to go in.
But because I playedquite poorly in the beginning of the year, my game was, you know, acatastrophe. It was really painful evento be on court. It's a little bit lackof confidence out there in the important moments, but hopefully this willchange in the future.
I have to, you know, try to keep working andtry to find my game for the, you know, for the future.
Q. Areyou going to change your coach, or you're still working with your coach?
JELENA JANKOVIC: I don't know yet. I cannot tell you. You're asking me too much after thematch. You know, I really don't knowwhat I'm going to do.
