Lindsay Davenport Great Quotations

She is a great competitor, one of the few pure lefties on the tour,

I always play great players in the final here, ... Amelie and I played such a close match at Wimbledon, and I'm looking forward to playing her again.

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 it was great for me (because) I think that I was able to come through not playing perfect tennis.

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.

It felt great tonight playing. It was so funny, I was really concerned yesterday, and then today I wake up and it did really well. I felt like I didn't have any limitations.

I think she has handled everything that has come her way really well since winning Wimbledon. I mean, she's still very young and is a very great player. Other players handle things differently. I'm one who can't handle anything but playing tennis and trying to be married. But other players have the ability to encompass a lot more.

You always want to get the match over with as fast as you can, ... But I've got to say, she did play some great shots. The last couple of games were really close.

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.

I still feel a little worn down, ... It was a great but demanding two weeks. I started to feel a bit better today but getting over a loss like that is probably the toughest thing you have to do.

That was a big test for my back. It was really important just to play some matches and hopefully get the rust out of my game. Obviously, to win the tournament and going into New York with that under my belt is a great feeling.

It's a great goal to have and it's a great kind of incentive this week. If it doesn't happen, it's not something that is going to worry me all that much. Kim totally deserves it.

It's a great goal to have and a it's a great kind of incentive that gives me more reason to get up and go this week,

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.

So even though I didn't play a great game at 2-3 in the second and put a few errors in and got broken, I was able to come back right away and finish off with four really solid games.

I'm sure it will be a great, great atmosphere, ... It presents a bigger challenge and a bigger occasion being in Switzerland, for her. I'm really going to have to concentrate on returning serve.

But if Kim gets it, she'll have totally deserved it. She's played great this year.

But I feel it was a great, great road for me and a great learning process. I figured out a lot of things on my own that probably made me a stronger person. I am happy with who I have become no matter what road I took. I am happy to still be sitting here and feeling the way I do.

The girl is such a great athlete and so good off the ground,

The city of Philadelphia and the tournament have been fantastic supporters of women's tennis and I know will once again put on a great event.
