"It's good I don't spend a lot of time on the court because physically I really need to rest a little bit"

[:rolleyes:]

I'm of these threads Brinyi also makes

[Brinyi]

Q. You looked really tired at the end of the match. Were you exhausted when you were closing out your victory?

MARION BARTOLI: I think, you know, when the pressure goes off you feel a little more tired than when you're in the match and you're focusing.

But I think at the end I was a little stronger physically than her. She looked a little tired. She doesn't know what really was the tactic against me at the end is what I felt.

[Brinyi]

Q. What was it like off and on, off and on, with all the rain delays?

NICOLE VAIDISOVA: Yeah, I mean, it was kind of tiring. You know, you walk all those stairs up, the locker room in back. It's pretty much a long walk. So that really gets you tired.

[Brinyi]

"But I'm not that tired yet."

-- M. Krajicek

[janie]

It's really amazing that Nicole had the strength to pick up her racquet after all that WALKING!

[Brinyi]

"I feel confident after this win, but for sure am a little bit tired today because (there) is a lot of tension every day, every hour."

-- R. Nadal (who was probably also thinking of all that walking!

[DBBN]

France's Marion Batoli, refreshed by an hour's sleep nap in one of Wimbledon's rain breaks, battled her way into the semi-finals on Wednesday with a 3-6 6-3 6-2 victory over Michaella Krajicek.

Bartoli, who says she needs 10 hours' sleep a night to be at her best, took a much needed nap when rain stopped play.

[janie]

Wow! I wish I could sleep for 10 hours! What a lucky girl.

[Brinyi]

"Je me sens vraiment en grande forme, je n'ai pas perdu de set et je ne suis pas fatigué."

-- R. Gasquet

[janie]

Q. You served strongly in the first set. Towards the end, nerves presumably played quite a big part.

NICOLE VAIDISOVA: I think you get also tired. You serve three sets, of course nerves kick in as well. I don't think I served bad really until the end. I mean, last point, of course. I don't think my serve was a problem.

[janie]

"I'm really happy with my achievements. Right now I'm feeling pretty exhausted and tired. But, you know, I won, so that is the most important thing."

-- N. Djokovic
