JUSTINE HENIN‑HARDENNE: Yeah, it's ... not my favorite one .... It's last Grand Slam of the season. Everyone gets a little bit tired. It's pretty busy, I mean New York. Busy city. I think everyone is a bit tired during this tournament, but it's last in the season and everyone wants to play well. ...

"Maybe I made a few easy mistakes but always he came out with shots on the line or winners," Pavel said. "I was tired, running left to right. He still is one of the fittest guys on the court."

"I used up too much energy in the first set," Peng said about the 49-minute battle that saw her launch an impressive 16 winners off her backhand. "I'm tired."

"I got a virus. I got sick. It was tough time for me. Took two months and a half or something to recover. I couldn't play. I was tired all day. It was a bad period."

 Poor Jelena. I'm glad she recovered from that; sounds like she had a bad case of mono. |

From the LA Times
Henin-Hardenne needed treatment for an injured back/rib in the second set, and she won't be the only ailing player on the court in her semifinal.
Her opponent, Jelena Jankovic, apparently injured her back in practice on Thursday and needed treatment during her doubles match.
"It's really painful," she told one reporter. "It's really sad."

"Do I look tired?"
-- M. Navratilova
"I think in the fifth set, for me, it was probably more physical than anything. My body didn't feel as good anymore. I couldn't really do the small steps and was making too many unforced errors that way, couldn't cover the court as well as I did the first three, four sets."
-- T. Haas
