Elena Dementieva Quotations

I think she's emotional but she doesn't show you her emotion on the court. I'm sure she can be nervous. She can be nervous but she doesn't like to show you.

I think she's a very good player, ... and maybe she needs a little bit more experience.

I think she's a great player, ... She's got some great results this year. It's going to be a tough match.

For me it's very important to play one week before the U.S. Open and to have this match practice, ... Just to play on the same surface and use the same balls they use at the U.S. Open. Especially after the great results at the U.S. Open last year, I decided I would do the same thing this year.

I played her a couple of times before, but right now, she is a completely different player. She has such a solid game. She moves much better. She really improved a lot the last two years.

I play her so many times. I remember my first time playing in New York in Madison Square Garden, first round. When I saw the draw, I was almost like crying. I said, 'Ma, I want to go home.

I don't think there was one particular game that changed anything. I just don't think it was my day today.

She had a match point, but I never give up, ... You just go for it.

She deserved to win this one, I was a little bit lucky, ... I have no excuse for serving like that.

She didn't participate for two years. She was telling the captain she was going to play but she hasn't. So I don't think she wants to play.
