I've struggled with my knees as well since Wimbledon. It's something I've had on and off for a few years. I struggled with it in Europe. I took a lot of time off after Wimbledon, more than I wanted to really, so that's a contributing factor as well to not training as much."

I played my type of game." tourney story     Caroline said: "[Camila] just went for it and the balls were going in. I felt a little tired and didn't move as well as usual. That doesn't help when you play somebody where you really have to be ready from the first point. I knew I was going to get limited break chances, and when I did get them, I didn't convert. I knew I had to be aggressive out there and try to push her back, but I didn't manage to do that today. She played well, and I didn't."
