Lindsay Davenport Best Quotations

I was consistent and hitting the ball very hard. I was very excited about that. Today was the best match I've played since Wimbledon (where she lost to Venus Williams in the final), the kind of tennis I want to play.

This is one of the best matches I've played for sure here so far, and I felt like I was really aggressive and yet I could move well. My back wasn't a problem. You know, I was consistent, hitting the ball hard, very excited about that.

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.

Whenever you're out there playing a final, the best start you can get off to, it only helps you. I was able to get up that first break at 2-1 and then I played really, really well for a stretch of games.

I'm never one that necessarily plays their best right off the bat. It took a little while to settle into the conditions and how Rika plays, but I do feel I started to improve some things in the second set.

You work your whole life to try to be the best you can, even if it's for only one day or one week.

It was a really tough match. I knew she definitely had the ability to be dangerous, and that was the best that she's played against me.

I did not play my best and know I have to get better, but typically I tend to get better as the tournament goes on,

Today was the best match I've played since Wimbledon,

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 felt like today was the best I've played here so far this year. I'm really happy to play well and get some momentum going. I want to win this again.

I feel like I've been struggling. To be able to come through and not play my best really says a lot.

I feel like I'm playing some of my best tennis. It's unfortunate that all the other girls are playing so much better. This is the highest level we've ever competed at.

I knew it would be tough, ... I didn't feel I was playing my best or striking the ball that well, but I still managed to win despite the circumstances.

My back is good. I was scared going out on the court. But it feels fine right now. It's been 7-to-8 weeks since I played a match. I didn't play my best but I won.
