Lindsay Davenport Bit Quotations

Watching her play a little bit the first few rounds, I thought Venus looked like she was playing well.

She is a little bit dramatic when she wins and it takes her a while to get to the net,

On the second set, I felt like I was playing well and hitting the ball well, ... First set, I just don't think either of us played all that well. ... But as the match went on, I felt like I was getting much better rhythm and on top of the balls and being a little bit more consistent with my shot.

I felt like a lot of it had to do with me. I just felt like I was making errors on balls I didn't need to make errors on. I was never really in control of points...(I'm) just annoyed. You obviously want to play a little bit better than what I played in a quarterfinal match.

Today I felt like I stepped it up a little bit better and was more consistent.

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.

Finally I got my shots inside the lines and didn't go for so much and I was able to play a little bit more percentage tennis.

But once it got to 5-5 obviously it's a whole different match. She became a little bit emotional when she didn't win those match points and seemed really down even starting at 5-5, so I was just trying to take advantage of that.

As the match went on, ... I felt like I was getting better rhythm and on top of the balls ? and being a little bit more consistent with my shots.

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.

I sprained it a little bit the other day. It was just a little bit swollen. ... I kind of jammed it on one shot. Hopefully, it will have a little time to get better.

It just came down to one break, ... I had my chance. I was getting a little bit tired and I didn't feel my serve was as accurate.

That really made a difference, ... I've always struggled a little bit here because there's no backdrop. I lose my depth perception.

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 haven't had any problems since I came back the second time this summer. Every other day helps quite a bit as well, knowing that I now have almost probably 48 hours before I play again. It's obviously much tougher when you've got back-to-back-to-back matches.
