Venus Williams, who lost to Samantha Stosur in the Charleston quarterfinals, told Sports Illustrated's Behind the Baseline that she has to be more mindful of conserving energy between matches. Williams is suffering from the autoimmune disease Sjogren's Syndrome. "Every day is a variable," Williams said. "I'm really learning, figuring it out as I go, and I think the one thing I do learn is I won't probably figure it all out, but I can try my best. Going into every match I always think how much energy can I save, and then when I start losing, then I say, 'OK, I have to spend.' I start moving my feet and I start saying, I have to run."
