2004 Australian Open
Date: 2004-01-26
Raymond def. Golovin 6-2, 6-0

Question What was that like out there today for you?
Answer You know, I'm a little disappointed about my match. I wasn't feeling so well. I wasn't really moving, and she was bothering me with her slices. But otherwise, the atmosphere was unbelievable. Playing on the Vodafone was amazing, the crowd was great. Overall I'm pleased.

Question What was wrong? Were you feeling sick?
Answer No, no, no. I think I was getting a little tired. It's my second week. I wasn't moving very well and I had to play my best tennis against her if I wanted to win, and it didn't really happen.

Question Can you talk a bit about your goals coming into this event, where you are, how you're feeling about that match?
Answer Oh, my goal was to get like one or two rounds. So it's great that I lost in the fourth. But otherwise right now, I don't know. I will just probably go home, take a few days off, and see about my schedule. It hasn't really been made yet.

Question You're saying you're going to go home. You were entered into the Juniors, as well.
Answer I was, but I pulled out.

Question Probably a relief. Feeling tired?
Answer Well, I mean, no, I don't really think so because -- you know, if I didn't do so well in the main draw, I probably would have played Juniors. But since I made it to the fourth round, probably up close to hundreds now, I think my main goal is playing the adults.

Question So you think as you progress now, you're more playing on the main tour than the junior events?
Answer Oh, yeah, definitely, definitely. I'm probably going to play the French Open Juniors, but otherwise I'll be concentrating on the WTA.

Question What would be an ideal schedule for you, say if there is no age eligibility question? How many tournaments would you want to play?
Answer I don't know. I guess just like all the other girls, probably around, you know -- I'm not really sure. I didn't really have check how many tournaments I'm supposed to play. But get to play the big tournaments, the majors, you know, just to get my ranking up, however many it takes.
