Australian Open 2009 Junior Final after loss Pervak |

Laura lost to Ksenia
Pervak 3-6 1-6 LAURA ROBSON: Yeah. Q. A
little bit of a disappointment, wasn't it? Q.
She's ranked 150 or something in the women's game. Do
you think that was a big difference in how experienced
she was as well? Q.
What was it like playing on Rod Laver for you? Q.
Before you played Wimbledon's final you said you were
very nervous and you hadn't sleep very well. How did you
sleep last evening, and how were you when you stepped on
the court? Q.
Did you make it through the end? Q.
Dare we ask how you got Verdascos's jumper? Q.
Did you introduce yourself first? Q.
Are you going to keep it? Q. Did they follow the progress of the match in the family household in in the middle of the night? LAURA ROBSON: I don't know actually. I haven't really spoken to anyone. I've just literally gone from the anti‑doping here. Q.
Have you texted mum at all? Q.
What's next? Q.
She was quite clever out there, wasn't she? She used a
few tricks and stalled you a little bit. She took her
time and went to the towel. Was that a lesson to learn? Q.
Didn't unsettle you? Q.
Given the heat that you've had the last couple weeks,
where would you put reaching the final here on your list
of achievements? Obviously you lost so it's not as great
as winning Wimbledon, but is it almost as good an
achievement because of the conditions? Q.
You said your energy was a bit low in the semifinals.
Did you feel that today, or... Q.
The question of people back home that don't follow
tennis is, do you have expectations that you will be
granted a wildcard into Wimbledon's main draw this year?
Is that something that you're really putting your hopes
on this summer? Q.
But you would... Q.
You had some choice words in the first set. Is there
perhaps something to be learned about how to deal with a
couple points that don't necessarily go your way? Q.
What do you think you've learned? Q.
Because of the age range in juniors, she's almost three
years older than you, and she looks it. She is
physically more developed. She seemed to hit heavy
shots. Is that something that's a drawback, a handicap
today that she is that much more experienced? Q.
Britain used to have female tennis players. Do you feel
that you could be part of a revival? Q. You've been down here for almost a month and been in the sunshine and the heat. You know you're going home to snow and sleet and the cold of winter. How does that grab you after this?LAURA ROBSON: I'm going home on Monday, so I get one more day here. Then, also, I'm going to try to get tickets to watch the final tomorrow. So I'm just going to enjoy the rest of my time here and go home with all my jumpers. Q. And other people's. LAURA ROBSON: I don't know if I can keep this one. It would be a good one to have in the cupboard back home. Q.
What do you think will be the highlights when you look
back on this week? Q.
What will have been the most fun moment of the week? Q.
Does your success here make you that much more eager to
get on the senior tour, to get out there and get
started, or are you happy biding your time at the
moment? Q.
Will you get your shopping trip, or does that go by the
bye now? Q. Do
you have a bit of a soft spot for Australia being born
here and having the success you've had? Q.
What family were here for the final? Just your sister? Q.
Their names, please? |
