"When you lose there's so much more to learn from the situation. For me to be able to play that well having hardly played any matches (recently) is good. I think I will just keep improving," Williams said after her 5-7, 7-6 (2), 7-5 loss.

"I think this was a great match for me. I will look forward to playing lot more tournaments in the summer," she added, giving a clear indication that she is no quitter.
