You came here with a great deal of confidence after winning Rome, but still to show the mental toughness you had in the third set today, is that psychologically even more significant for you? JELENA JANKOVIC: Yeah, it was amazing. I was really staying tough out there. Mentally very strong in the third set, and I was really going for my shots. And I never had in my mind that I'm going to lose the match. I just wanted to go for it. In the second set I was a little bit tired. But in the third set I gave my best, and it paid off. Q. The people in the players' box for you today might be the noisiest group of people at the French Open. How does that help you? JELENA JANKOVIC: It helps me stay relaxed. I smile on the court. I have really positive people in my player box, so it's really -- it helps me to play, and it releases the tension on the court, because it's really -- it was an amazing turnaround match, especially I have to play Venus in the turnaround. And when you see the other turnarounds that they have in the draw, it's really amazing. It's really a shame that Venus had to go out so early. But this is the game. Q. What does this mean? JELENA JANKOVIC: Oh, I'm not going to say. I'm going to say in the end of the tournament. Q. Does this result give you even more confidence in terms of your ability to even go on and win the title here? JELENA JANKOVIC: I'm not really looking at it. I'm only in the fourth round at the moment. But today was a great match. It gives me a lot of confidence. It's always good to beat the Williams sisters and always difficult. But I proved one more time that it's my third time in a row that I've beaten her, and it's just really a good win for me. I'm really happy for that, but I just want to continue and go for it. Q. More and more people are saying Jankovic is a title contender. You don't believe that any more now than yesterday? JELENA JANKOVIC: No. Like I said at the beginning of the tournament, I'm not really thinking about winning the tournament or anything. I'm just thinking about my next round, especially that I had such a difficult draw. Playing Venus in the third round is not something you want to see. But I am just going one match at a time. I have difficult opponents in my draw, and I just go out there and then fight and give my best. And who knows what will happen. Q. It really is quite striking how much you smile while you're playing. Have you always done that or is that a function of how well you're playing now that it's just really fun? JELENA JANKOVIC: No, it's just -- I don't really know what it is. It's just I am smiling all the time. I think it's good. I am the person who likes to laugh a lot. Even before the match we were, I think, my group, my team, I think you could hear us. We are the only ones who are so loud. And the others, they always laughing, always making jokes. Then when you see the other players so quiet in the corner, you don't hear them. Then you see the clowns over there. No, but it's just how we are. It's my personality. It's on the court, and I really enjoy the game. Why not, when it's a good point, why not to smile? There's nothing wrong with that. Q. In Rome a couple of weeks ago, we are talking about your Spanish culture, and you couldn't say the name. Can you name him today or not? JELENA JANKOVIC: No, not yet, because he's not my full-time coach, so he doesn't like that I mention it yet. But he's helping me here and there, together with my mom, who is my No. 1 supporter and always in my box. But when he becomes officially my full-time coach, then I will announce his name. Q. How many burning forehands did you hit today? JELENA JANKOVIC: I don't know how many burning forehands. But I didn't get a chance to hit my burning backhand. She was playing my forehand all the time, and when I had a chance to hit my backhand, I saw it like, oh, here it comes. So I go for it, and really hit it pretty hard. But it was more of a forehand contest, because she also has a better backhand than her forehand. So we were both pushing this side. Q. What made you decide to call it a burning forehand or burning backhand? JELENA JANKOVIC: I don't know. You just said it. Q. You said it. JELENA JANKOVIC: I didn't say it. You said it was a burning forehand or backhand. But I have a burning backhand for sure (laughing). Q. Comparing the match you played in Charleston against Venus, how would you rate this one? JELENA JANKOVIC: Each match is really different. We played on green clay, and here you cannot compare it, because this is a Grand Slam. You always have expectations. You have a little bit more pressure than in the other tournaments because you want to do well. But like I said, each time you play the Williams sisters, it's really a tough game. And you have to be on the top of your level if you want to beat them. They are the best athletes in the women's game. They are getting the balls that -- half of the balls I hit today I thought was going to be a winner against the other girls, and then against Venus, it is not. She gets them, and she makes a winner back. So this is what is really great about the Williams sisters. Q. Could you tell us who of your family is here? JELENA JANKOVIC: Just my mom is here. My mom who is always there for me. Q. Do you see an improvement between Charleston and here from Venus? Is there a difference in the level at which she played? JELENA JANKOVIC: For example, I really work hard after when I passed my second round. I worked hard in my practice. I was working on my tactics. I was working a lot on my return because I saw that she was serving really well. The key of the match is to return well, to put pressure on her so that I can get in the point and have a chance to break her. I practiced a lot on my return, and it helped me. I think she made only one ace today. She was a little bit -- her serve was not that great, because I always had -- I was always on the ball. She didn't have any advantage from her serve, which is her best shot. So I think I did that well. I really moved well. So it's always great when you are moving well on clay, which is the most important thing, to be fit and to be always on the ball. Q. Were you surprised the way she faded out in the final set? JELENA JANKOVIC: I don't know. But I was just going for the ball. I was really hitting it, and I was really moving her around. And probably she got tired or something. It's not easy when you have to run from side-to-side. And she hits the ball hard as well, so... Q. Besides your mom, who are all those rowdy people in your players box? There seemed to be a lot of people that were very loud. JELENA JANKOVIC: There are so many people. There is my agents from Octagon. There is my sparring partner. Some of the friends, my PR. There are so many people. There is a lot of people in the box. I was not even looking who was there. Q. What about the two volleys you hit in the fifth game of the final set? JELENA JANKOVIC: That was amazing. Also I was working on that and on my drop shot and my volleys on the tough shots. I was thinking, wow, I really executed in the match, and I was really proud of myself. But it was great, because I was really working on that in my practice. So it turned out well. Q. You've mentioned your mother several times. Could you talk a bit about your relationship, and was she an athlete growing up herself at all? JELENA JANKOVIC: My mom when she was younger, she was -- how do you say -- a handball player. But she almost was going to go into the national team, but my grandmother never supported her, never really, because at that time it was difficult. And my grandmother wanted her to stay at home and just go to school and just live a normal life, not to play. Especially handball was a little bit of a manly sport. So she quit. But my mom, for me, she is my best friend, and she's always there for me and always very, very supportive in the good and the bad times. And I'm just happy that I have a great family, especially -- that's all I can say. Q. Do you think that's part of why she was so encouraging to you as a young athlete, because she didn't get a chance to pursue that herself? JELENA JANKOVIC: No, not really. Because when I started to play tennis, I never really thought I was going to be a professional athlete. I just started for the recreation, for the fun of it. And then people said I was talented; I have a big potential. That's how it all started. But I never really -- my parents never pushed me to play the sport. It's my will, my wish, and whenever if I want to quit, I can do it. But if I enjoy to play tennis, I'm going to play. If I don't want to play, nobody's going to push me. So that's how my parents were, and they are still. And it's just my decision. Q. When you were going through that long losing streak a year ago and your mother mentioned that you were thinking about quitting, were you really thinking about quitting or was it just sort of the emotional? Sometimes people when things aren't going well, you just emotionally say maybe I should quit? JELENA JANKOVIC: No, I was really about to quit, because I'm a really bad loser, and I cannot take so many losses, ten losses in a row. And it was just really an unbelievable bad period for me, because I couldn't stand it. When I was younger, I was No. 1 junior in the world, and I always wanted to win. I never wanted to lose. Nobody likes to lose. I did it so many times, and I didn't enjoy to play. I didn't practice. I didn't have the motivation, the drive that keeps you going forward. And that's why I was going to quit, because if you're not going to do your job, you are going to do it 100%, and you are going to love what you're doing. If you don't love, then it's no point. Q. Why didn't you quit? JELENA JANKOVIC: But then like I said, in Rome was my last tournament, and then I passed -- I made it to the quarterfinals, and I said, okay, maybe I'm going to -- something's going to change here. Maybe I'm going to have -- there's going to be some contact. Then I started to think positive. I changed my attitude on the court. I started to practice a little bit harder each time, and my game gradually was improving. I was making better results. Then five months, I finished No. 12 in the world. You know, some things are sometimes meant to happen in order to change some of the things in life, and you appreciate the right values. You appreciate your results more after it happens. --
