Quotes by Patty Schnyder

“I can feel it happening. I (could) tell after I lost in the French Open to Mary Pierce. She had an unbelievable run and I played close. But close is not good enough for me. I want to get to a final.”

“I know that she does it and thats her way. I was not too much asking the umpire to speed things up because I know its her way, but still, I think on the serve, you should go with the pace of the server.”

“I think it was just generally that my footwork was really not good. I just felt uncomfortable moving around the court. I was missing the small steps to really have a good position and move good and come back in the games and to defend. So that was frustrating that I never got better.”

“I think just generally, my footwork was really not good and it was uncomfortable to move around the court.”

“When I?m ready, I would like to start serving. I know she does it and it?s her way, but I think on the serve, you should go with the pace of the server. She needs the time, I guess. I don?t think it?s really to break my rhythm or something, it?s just that she needs it.”
