Elena Dementieva Tough Quotations

She was playing very well and it was a tough first match for me.

She has really improved a lot in the last two years. She didn't even drop a set here so it's going to be a very tough match.

I had a very slow start and it was a tough match, she's a very talented young player and it's not easy to play against her, so I was very happy that I was able to win this match.

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

It was a tough first-round match. She has a pretty solid game, the whole package. She's very aggressive from the baseline. She's playing at a high level.

It was a very tough match but I am just thinking, 'Why is my favorite score 7-6 in the third?

Hopefully we're in a different part of the draw, ... I think it's going to be a good draw. So many tough players are coming this year.
