September 01, 2007 / New York
Ana was again happy with her performance after beating Vera Dushevina 6-1, 6-3 in the third round of the US Open. The teenager moves into round four for the first time in her short career, and has dropped just 10 games in the process.
“I'm really happy with the result,” said Ana. “She's a tough opponent. “She played good the last couple of matches, so I expected a tough match out there. But I was really happy with the result. It’s always nice to get through like this. I played some good tennis.”
As always, Ana’s cheerful disposition shone throughout her post-match press conference, so much so that journalists addressed her positive nature directly. “In the press conferences you’re very smiley, kind, sweet,” one journalist said as he began a question.
“Also I have, I think, a pretty good chance in the next round. It’s a tough draw, but I’m playing well at the moment, so I have all the reasons to be happy.”
One reporter, who had most likely read Ana’s latest diary entry, asked the 19-year-old about her recent turn as a journalist at the Wilson party, where she interviewed among others Roger Federer. “It was exciting,” said Ana.
“It was the first time I did something like that. The Tennis Channel asked me to do a feature with me, so I accepted. Also during the night, I was going around and interviewing a few people. I got an interview with Roger. That was great.
“I asked him about New York, how much he’s enjoying party. I was actually very surprised to find out that he enjoys shopping. He was a lot of fun. I felt weird asking him questions. But it was something different. He was really good actually.”
