Elena Dementieva Beat Quotations

I feel extremely happy. I didn't expect to beat Martina. I was trying real hard and I'm happy I could win.

If that's the only way she can beat me, I mean, it's up to her.

I think it didn't affect my game. But do I think she had something? I don't think so, ... ... I didn't think it was a fair play, but she could do it by the rules. And she did it. ... If that's the only way she can beat me, it's up to her.

Martina is a good player and it's exciting to see her back. But that doesn't mean I won't be playing and I'll do everything possible to beat her.

I've never seen such a long break. I didn't think it was a fair play. You know, if that's the only way she can beat me -- I mean, it's up to her. I just don't think it's fun for the players, or the crowd, to see someone lying down for 12 minutes.

It's an old story now and we should stop talking about it. She beat me that day because she was the best player, full stop.

But I still feel like it was a great tournament for me, big win yesterday. Even that I lost today 6-1, 6-2, I feel like I have a game to beat her ? but not today.
