    SOUNDBITE (English) Serena Williams, lost to Garbine Muguruza 7-5, 6-4:(Q. What did you think was the difference in the match? It was really decided by just a few points, it seemed, from our point.)

    "Yeah, I guess. I haven't really had a lot of time to think about the difference. I think she was -- I know in the -- she won the first set by one point. I mean, that just goes to show you you really have to play the big points well, and I think she played the big points really well."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Serena Williams, lost to Garbine Muguruza 7-5, 6-4:(Q. You applauded when you saw that the lob hit the line. Was that one of the best match points that's been played against you?)

    SOUNDBITE (English) Serena Williams, lost to Garbine Muguruza 7-5, 6-4:(Q. Are you the type of person who can kind of let this match go quickly, or will you beat yourself up about it for a few days?)

    " I don't really know right now. I'm just -- obviously it's not something I'm like, Oh, it's over with. It's definitely something I want to dissect and see what I can learn from that and what can I do to get better from it. That's the only way to keep improving."
