Q. Jelena, it looks like, I don't know what the score is, you may play Hantuchova next. What are your thoughts on your next match?
JELENA JANKOVIC: Last time I played
against her I think it was in Madrid on clay court, and I think I won, so I think overall it will be a tough match. She's a good player, so I'm just going to go out there and play my game and hope for the best.
Q. Jelena, how do you feel about this match? Like do you feel things have improved since the first round match?
JELENA JANKOVIC: Yeah. I think I played much better. I think I played much better today than the first round, and I'm pretty pleased with the way I played today. I think I was hitting the ball much better and moved much better as well, so I hope to continue this.
Q. Jelena, I understand you've been in the Top 10, I think had the longest continuous stay in the Top 10. Do you ever think, oh, my God, I'm tired of playing this level of tennis. I just want to take some time off. Can you see
yourself doing that?
JELENA JANKOVIC: I don't think so. For now I still want to play. I'm just 25 years old. So I still want to compete. I love playing, so I -- you know, I don't think about that at this moment.
Q. Jelena, you've won this tournament before. Is there anything special about
Charleston or this tournament for you?
JELENA JANKOVIC: I think it's a really nice place, and people are so friendly and I have a lot of fans here and a lot of people supporting me, which is always nice. And I feel great here, so it always helps when you like it, when you like the city, when the people are really nice. So it helps you when you are on the court as well. You just feel very welcome and you can just go out there and play your tennis and just try to play the best that you can, and we'll see how
things will go for me.
Q. It seems like there have been a lot more injuries recently. Do you think there have been and why do you think that is?
JELENA JANKOVIC: Injuries, you cannot really, you know, control. You try your best to be in the best possible shape, but injuries are part of sports, and some players have more injuries. Some players have less, but that's just the way it is. You cannot -- I mean you cannot control it.
