Q. Well done.

A. Thank you.

Q. How does it feel, Amelie, to get your first match over and done with after the big win in Sydney last week?

A. It was very important to have a solid match at the beginning of this tournament. After winning I think it is never easy but I did it, so I'm happy.

Q. Do you feel confident about taking it through to the next level after last year's performance?

A. You know, I think for this tournament I will take it match by match and step by step, just concentrating on the next match and we will see how it goes. I will give my best anyway, and hopefully it is going to be the same as last year.
