Q. Great weekend for you and for the

team. Talk about the kind of confidence that

the two wins can give you moving forward.

CHRISTINA McHALE: Yeah, I definitely

think that these two matches will help me for the

future. I’m just super excited that I got my first two

Fed Cup wins.

It was a good weekend for the whole team.

Q. 6-0, 4-0 yesterday, 6-0, 5-0 today. I

saw you have one career double bagel. How

much were you wanting it today?

CHRISTINA McHALE: I was just trying to

stay focused. I wasn’t thinking about the score. I

wasn’t trying to get a double bagel or anything like

that. It was just taking each game, each point one

at a time.

Q. You are now in line to represent the

United States at the Olympics, assuming all

goes accordingly between now and June. Talk

a little bit about your view of the Olympics as a

little kid, watching on TV. Any moments that

stand out to you

CHRISTINA McHALE: I don’t want to get

too like excited about it because there’s still a lot

that could happen with who gets to go.

But it would be one of the biggest honors

and one of the biggest tournaments for me to play.

That would be absolutely amazing.

The Olympics I remember watching was

Beijing, the one four years ago. It would be

amazing if I could make that team.

Q. Is there an Olympic athlete in any

sport that you would line up to try to trade pins

with?

CHRISTINA McHALE: I think all the

athletes. I don’t know any now off the top of my

head. I played the Pan American Games last year.

That was so exciting seeing all the other athletes.

All the time it’s so individual with tennis. Being part

of such a big group, everyone is wearing their

jackets, it’s an amazing feeling.

Q. You won 10 straight matches. What

do you attribute your success to this weekend?

CHRISTINA McHALE: I think our whole

team had a really good week. We prepared really

well. We had good practices. I think I stayed

really focused out there. I stuck to the plan.

It was great having Mary Joe there helping

me on the court. Just having the support of the

whole team I think helped me.

Q. After this run of matches, is it back

to individual competition, or team competition

in April?

CHRISTINA McHALE: Yeah, actually I

have a tournament that I have to get to, fly tonight

to the Paris tournament. It starts on Tuesday. So I

have a quick turnaround.

Q. I notice both you and Venus

Williams left the court in the second set of

Serena’s match. Was there any chance she

was going to play singles as well?

CHRISTINA McHALE: I don’t actually

know. I didn’t know if that was an option.

I left in the middle of the first set because I

didn’t want to get too tired out there watching. I

was watching from inside and cheering her on.
