V. AZARENKA/A. Ivanovic
6‑2, 6‑3
Q. How did you feel on the court today? It was difficult?
ANA IVANOVIC: No, I started really well, and I felt really good in the beginning. Then after the third game, actually after first point in the fourth game, I just suddenly started feeling so dizzy, and I completely lost my balance.
Ever since then it was really hard. I struggled with like looking up. I started feeling very dizzy, and I was struggling a little bit to find my balance.
Yeah, it was really hard. She played well.
Q. The two defending champions leave the tournament the same day. What do you think?
ANA IVANOVIC: Yeah, I think it's really tough. I mean, it's never easy to lose, and especially that I was feeling my game really well. So I'm very disappointed with today.
I think it's very tough, yeah. But the opponents, they just were, you know, better today.
Q. What was your goal coming here into Roland Garros as the defending champion? You're No. 8 seed, I think. Did you set any goals?
ANA IVANOVIC: Well, my goal was just to try and enjoy the match. I wasn't really looking for any outcome or looking too much into the tournament. I just wanted to enjoy.
I was really, you know,proud of my efforts the first week. I was really feeling good out there.
You know, even today and in the beginning I felt great. I was hitting, striking the ball, and executing really well. That's why it's really hard.
Q. What do you think about Azarenka? Do you think she's a player to beat? Like she's one of the best?
ANA IVANOVIC: She is. She definitely has the potential. She has been playing really well lately. She strikes the ball really well. She's young, so she has really good potential.
Q. You're still young, too.
ANA IVANOVIC: Well, thank you. I feel a little bit older now. With all these young players coming up, I start to feel a little bit old. (laughter.)
Q. What is your plan now? Do you plan to change something, or...
ANA IVANOVIC: Honestly, I don't know. Probably I will go back to Belgrade. I'm going to play Eastbourne. That's my next tournament on grass.
