My coach told me I had to expect, you know, some long rallies and stuff. So, you know, I was ready for this.

Amelie MauresmoIf you are not physically strong, it's difficult. But at the same time, I think you need something more than that; you need to vary your shots, as Justine has been able to do in Amelia or Charleston, where she beat her -- I can't remember where it was on clay. So you need this kind of thing. But of course if you're not fit, you'll never make it through.
