When asked about what she was doing specifically with her play she simply said that she was changing the way she thinks of the game saying:

"I have to let go of that expectations. That doesn't mean I'm lowering my expectations. It just means I'm having realistic expectations of not winning every point, every game, every shot."

Her next opponent will be Tsvetana Pironkova who eased past Andrea Petkovic earlier yesterday. When asked about that match Serena said:

"She's playing well, but I am too. I'm ready to play her. She'll be ready to play me. It will be a long match, she will get a lot of balls back, but so am I. I'll be ready."
