Lindsay Davenport Coming Quotations

I had people coming up all the time and even now they are still and they seem very touched by what happened. I don't know if it's because they feel sorry for me or they really enjoyed the match or whatever it may be. But for some reason, that match sticks out more in fan's minds than other matches that they've ever brought up to me.

I think the difference in the second set was once I got broken to 2-2 I felt like she played with a little bit more confidence, ... The balls were definitely coming a little bit harder and deeper. She wasn't really allowing me to be inside the baseline as much as I was in the first set. I didn't play a great game to get broken, but overall I got it back together at the end and obviously I'm happy to come out with a victory.

I think that it's a very, very tough sport. Obviously Martina has been one of the best players that has ever played, so I'm sure she wouldn't be coming back unless she felt like she could make this transition.

I will never forget Wimbledon, it is something that I don't want to forget, ... There was great disappointment in losing that, but the great thing about tennis is that you have more tournaments and more Grand Slams. I have another one coming up in two days and I am going to try to win it and build some more memories.

We definitely are seeing more and more players coming through. A lot of the younger players are doing well. Now there are six or seven players who could take a Grand Slam.

Coming here, it's been a really great opportunity to relax and get back out on the court right away after losing in New York ... I wouldn't fly all this way if I didn't want to win the tournament and perform at a high level.

Normally you don't want to give yourself that many chances till you win it, ... I kept coming back here, kept always struggling in the finals. And today I was happy, finally, after all these years, able to pull it out.

After coming off a long week like last week, it was nice just to have a quicker match.

It's not frightening. I look at it as a challenge to play a lot of the young girls that are coming up -- and the really good ones. I think I've played most of them, I don't care what age they are or how long they've been playing, it's all about the tennis and what kind of game each girl can bring on that day.

The balls were definitely coming a little bit harder and deeper, ... She wasn't really allowing me to be inside the baseline as much as I was in the first set. I didn't play a great game to get broken, but overall I got it back together at the end and obviously I'm happy to come out with a victory.

It's nice when you're feeling and being aggressive and taking short balls and coming in,

I'm very happy to be here winning the title, ... No matter how much experience or how long you have played you never really know what to expect after coming back from an injury. I really wanted to come in here and kind of test my back and play matches and see how everything held up.

I didn't know what to expect coming back after my injury, but to win the title without playing my best gives me a lot of confidence going into the US Open.
