SOUNDBITE (English) Casey Dellacqua:

(on leaving New York with a career-high ranking and securing a seeding for next year's Australian Open)

"It's really good to have losses like that today because I'm now, like you said, at a career high, but it doesn't mean I stop working or stop improving. Yeah, I'm definitely not complacent with where I'm at because I'm reaching career highs. In the last 12 months, there was only one way I was going to go, and it was that way. Now it's at a crucial time where I need to continue to work hard, consolidate my space in the top 30. I have tournaments left to go for the rest of the year. This is where I really just knuckle down, work hard, try to get the most out of the next tour I have through Asia, really just to try and keep improving, I think the great tennis I already have played this year."
